I got a 10/15. I'm just barely "fair"

Oh well. I don't like turbos anyway.

Ahh, 12 out of 15.. I missed the first (date) and the REA question, and #5. I think #5 is a bad question, I wouldn't assume that making more power with cooler charge air would lead to better engine durability unless you bring knock, etc., into the picture. More power = more stress, you see where I'm going with this.. I'm not bitter, I just overthought that one..

I got 13/15 but seriously this test has nothing to do with turbo knowledge, its more of a bullshit trivia test.

When they start asking about compressor maps, nomencalture and how turbos actually physically work then that will be a real test...who cares how long turbos have been around
