Well im cruising thru 1 of the main streets in my town and some guy in a early 90's bonneville gets next to me and hit it, car went nowhere, so i showed him what a real pontiac can do and in a matter of seconds i was car after car ahead of him. I slow down, he catches back up and asked me, "is that thing turbo", i smiled and said its supercharged. He then made this face like... "damn"! And took off. Lol. I dont consider this a real kill or anything, its just a funny thing that happened.

that is funny. i think those bonevilles have the 3100 motor in them.

how do you mistake a SC for a Turbo.....
10-21-2009
dont know. it whines loud as hell and theres no blow off valve... so your guess is as good as mine.
10-21-2009
well some people dont even know the difference, or even what they do.

not all turbos have an atmospheric bov either, alot of them recirculate!

Yeah. Stock ones.

Most people don't realize that there are cars out on the road with Supercharges on them from the factory. They figure if it's fast and making a strange noise it's got to be turbo. I use to have a Plymouth Laser 2.0 NA and then later an Eagle Talon TSi Turbo AWD and both had that big bulge in the hood. It was there to give clearance for the twin cam gears and timing belt cover but everyone who saw it pointed to it and said "Oh, it's turboed, huh?" I know there was a car in the 70's that had a buldge for the turbo on the hood and often wondered if that's why I got it with these cars but it would have had to have been one HUGE turbo to need that big of a buldge.
People just assume...

not true, I have had 2 wrx's and tried many different bov's such as GFB, TIAL, HKS SSQV and Turbo xs. The best are the 50/50 style. while on a stock turbo engine you should always use a 100% recirculating bov/bpv!

i must say, i do like the last two generation bonnevilles. they were classy but still had a strong motor. even if we call that cadillac now lol

If a bonnieville had a 3100 in the I think it would go 0-60 in about a half hour lol I had a 96 se and that thing was slow as it is don't b putting 3.1 in there lol. Thing handled great thought that car was a beast
