Did I get it right?
it's under the gas, it's something they put on automatic cars, when you push the pedal down far enough it downshifts the transmission

1) Call them again
2) Disguise your voice, ask different questions about the turbo button
3) RECORD THE CALL
4) post it for us to enjoy.
5)

I would but it is illegal to record calls. It would be funny as Hell. I'm just sitting here thinking of all the dumb questions I could ask.

1. This is great I always wanted a turbo but couldn't afford one. What color is the switch?
2. Is it the blue or red switch? Where is the switch located?
3. Can I put two switches in there and double the power?
4. I heard these cars with the switch do 9's quarter miles and pull the tires off the ground. How high do the wheels come off the ground when you launch?
5. You did use Slick-50 on all oil changes right?
6. Does it also have the hidden wing that pops up when you go over 150 on the highway?
7. Does it still have the original BMW factory nitrous bottle or did you upgrade that to the dual system fogger system?
8. I hope you didn't take out the hydrid function, I still want to be able to plug it in and run off the batteries to save money...
9. What about the blower system? Does the A/C still have the botton that converts it into a supercharger so if I'm out of Nitrous and don't feel like using the turbo I can just run off the A/C's boost?


Just a few questions I would like to ask the seller
