For newbies that don't know how a turbo works and their specific implementation on the L6.

I'm trying to get all the most common questions/answers setup as sticky's.

They have a setup at work like that.. You cant log in to the system unless you read the "NEW FYI" Check a box and sign an electronic signature.. This way you have no excuse when you lie to people

Yeah so I'm new here and I wanted to know how my turob works? I didn't feel like clicking on the link so I figured I'd just ask.

turob, turob, lol.

Yea I felt like I would add something stupid. Anyway when I read the title of this I was expecting something along the lines of, these turbo's are really good. Or these turbos suck. Something about the life and durability of the 280ZX Turbos.

Maybe some howto or whatthe pages/links would help those wanting explaination on terms, concepts or equipment.

Here's a page with a million compressor maps of turbos. If you're searching on what turbo might be a good match, you can use the maps to help you decide on a turbo that will maximize your intended purposes i.e drag, circuit, autocross, etc.

I beg to differ.

What's the number to 911? Is indeed a stupid question.
As is: Why isn't my Civic as fast as a SR-71?

The list goes on and on.

Besides, when he said Dummies, I think he was using it in relation to the "For Dummies" books. Like "Windows for Dummies" or "How to use an Internet Forum for Dummies"

After reading that turbo info page again, I have a question: I know the Z31's T3 will fit on an L28ET, but are the specs still the same? ("60 comp trim and .63 turbine trim" for the 280ZX's T3)
