#76

"Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday". We have all heard the term. Does it really apply anymore.

IAG Thursday Thing EP.67: Turbos for Dummies! A beginners guide to turbos with Subarus
#67
01/24/2025

Some of the questions I've received lately really made me realize there isn't a great spot for the basics of turbocharging as it pertains to a Subaru or just cars in general...so we made one. Yeah it's simple but some people need it. This is more something you can send to someone who is new, just getting into it, or maybe thinks they know more than they do.
