Question Should I Put A "turbo" Logo On My Car?
So, should I put a "turbo" logo on my car, or keep it quiet?

Mine doesn't even say turbo on it, but if you want people to know, go for it.

My brother in law put the 4 wheel drive system from a passat into his jetta, and put a subtle "Syncro" badge on the back. That was nice. Putting a TURBO badge on your 7 is not. You might end up looking like you went to Canadian Tire and bought the "go fast" Turbo sticker for your car. Leave it N/A badged and surprise everyone.


Although, a Turbo sticker could be good for another 10-12 HP....... J/K

NO.... keep it a sleeper! Wait until a TII pulls up next to you then he'll think he got beat by a super fast N/A.

Uh..dude? If you look again I DO believe he does have a turbo but it is a third party, not the regular TII.

Well, this will be the finishing touch on my turbo converstion-
I have the GXL emblem behind the front wheel.
What I am going to do is just get a smaller, scripty, red lower case "-t" after the GXL. So it will read: GXL-t
Small, stubtle. but the finishing touch....

Voila:
