My sister is so fit I won't show anyone her picture

Lake District

Minimag page 111 bottom right hand corner "Turbo, Supercharger & Nitrous"

They're talking about fitting one of the above to a NA engine.

"......the crankshaft has to be changed to take the sudden power surges a Turbo creates".

"Superchargers work in the opposite way to Turbos. Instead of sucking the exhaust gases out the engine......"

"Less has to be done to fit a supercharger and the internals of the engine can stay the same".

Who writes this crap ? no wonder people struggle when trying to learn about these conversions when the "Comics" print trash like this !

Rant over !

I have to agree, some of the writing in the magazines is complete and utter drivel in my opinion ! It would seem on the face of it that if you own a mini you are fit to be a technical writer ! You can just tell they have not got the foggiest idea what they are on about. I gave up even getting them in the last year or so. Even some of the better regarded ones come out with a pile of tripe now and again. Or perhaps they have been reading maxi pants that has leeked into their brains ! I was so disgusted with a peice a few months back i faxed into the mags office, didn't get a reply though !! lol.
