I thought it was a small turbo to spool up quickly for low end boost, and a larger turbo to spool up for mid/high range boost. The main idea being to minimize turbo lag.

Yes, more responsive, probably at the expense of outright power.

You realize, of course, that it was technology (a big part of which was turbocharging) that turned Germans into Liars: An E 53 would normally mean, under the Old Way of Things, that a 5.3 liter engine would be found under the hood. That is no longer the case — it’s whatever moniker they think fits the price. Ah,…

‘Asshole’ Flex driver here...? I have a great time in winter throwing 3 boards, and 4 pairs of skiis in the back, along with our support gear while my buddy tries to cram everything in his Thule on his Range Rover...while his kids kick the crap out of his seats (when it’s not getting ‘updating’ from his tech who he…

I can see such changes in mood happening,even in subtle ways.
Here in Brisbane australia after several wet years some people found it impossible to get flood insurance.That has to have an effect in the long term.

It does make me wonder how we will adapt and deal with situations in the future. The fires were pretty unbelievable in terms of the wind speed that fueled them; we’ve just had the most bizarre weather these last few years. I thought about creating and maintaining fire breaks, but these fires have jumped incredible…

Bloggin for bucks.

Yeah, when I read about this kind of stuff I realize I’ve wasted my life doing boring shit for other people. I am not worthy...

Sure smelt something awful!

I got tired of people asking me what Star Wars movie my Gulf one was from.

Those same shops also supply vinyl decal kits, and brand logos, sponsors supply vinyl logos, there is zero issue with skinning helmets, wether by professional or by a pimply youth called Dustyn (with a “y”) straight out of a Burger King internship.

Glad you enjoyed it and got inspired to paint your helmet. Send us some photos on Facebook when you get it done!! I was surprised at how easy it was too.

Prep and clean and the proper primer.
