LOL! that's stupid!
my MR2 says 'Twin Cam 16 Turbo' down the side but that's the only clue
really, oh and raised engine vents to the nerdy people and normally badged
GT or GT-S.

I specifically listed both poor-treatment and nice-treatment scenarios, and

LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of cars are Turbocharged these days - read my other
