I don't think the issue is out yet Turbo Red...boy you're a keener aren't you! Any mainstream convenience store should have this mag or big book store with a magazine section.

I got this issue from Costco last week. They throw around some numbers and specs that the tech heads (like me) would appreciate, but the executive summary is that the 2.4 is a VERY durable motor, head design is old-tech, turbo manifold is 'weird'. The article was aimed at all the SRT-4 nay-sayers showing the strength behind the power.

I've been noticing lately that more and more 'enthusiasts' are becoming aware of 2.4 turbo engines. Even my Honda buddies are taking notice. I still get a lot of the "I didn't know that had a turbo PT", but I guess that the car is relatively new.

Marc,
That is what I liked about it, it was a bit more technical that the Hot Rod mag.
The more I read and find out about the turbo engine, the better I feel about trading in my 02 Touring Edition[]

PS, RED, I don't have a link, I bought a paper copy, remember paper??
I think it was some sort of plant before they made it into a
magazine[:0][:0]
