In the search for more power, everyone wants low end torque and big HP. But when it comes to turbo motors, there is always a trade off.
A smaller turbo will make big low end torque, but fall off in power as the revs climb. A larger turbo will make big power numbers at redline, but is slow to spool and torque suffers.
Everyone will have their go-to brand and type and you can't convince them anything else could be better. There are so many options for fluids, there is no way you could ever try them all.
One very important thing to remember when trying fluids is which ones you mix together. Most oils can be mixed with little to no detrimental effects, but this doesn't mean all.
They were conceived in the mid 1800's as combustion engines were just starting to prove worthy.

Getting it repaired correctly so that you don’t have to worry about it coming back isn’t as easy as some shops claim. Not all firewall repair techniques are the same.
As manufacturers try to find new ways to increase power and fuel economy, they develop new engine technologies. One technology we are seeing in more and more vehicles is direct injection.
They do this to make the engine more reliable and last longer. But this is something an enthusiast has to put aside, whether they realize it or not.
To prevent premature failures, we often use stronger hardware made with stronger materials than the stock parts. A very common example of this are the bolts used to attach the engine head to the block. Not only ares these studs 3-6 times stronger than the stock bolts, they are reusable.
A part that is often overlooked when it comes time to strengthen things up, are wheel studs. In fact, most people never even think of the part until a lug nut get’s seized or a stud breaks off while changing wheels.
Wheels studs are probably one of the most imports pieces of hardware on your vehicle. They attach the wheels to the car and hold the brake rotors in place. If the wheel studs fail, the wheel falls off and may cause a major accident.
