Tell Me Turbo

Did you know the new mercedes s600 is a twin turbo v12 and only pushes out 500 hp in the american version. Such a detuned car, its a almost a crime.

thats a goofy *** turbo man lol

It's not detuned. Germans don't build cars, they build tanks. It probably makes 29083240823ft lb's of torque at 12rpms and redlines at like 3k. Have you ever driven a jetta / passat / any german car (m's aside)? They are exactly opposite of our hondas. They pull harder down low and get weaker as you approach redline. I don't know how they do it, but their 4 cyl feel like 6's if you drive them "normal". Even the 1.8t; They are notorious for undersizing turbo's just for the torque. All about the ease of driveability and to allow you to shift a lot less.

yea its detuned to save the life of the tranny... i mean 500hp damn...

That looksw like a dieasel turbo.I may be wrong though

Johny your right about the german cars.I have a 99 passat 1.8t and it dies past 6krpm.It makes full boost at 2500RPMs though.That little *** k3 turbo blows ***.
