What words are used with turbo engines and tuning, and thier meaning? Like 16g,data logging and what ever else i see. Tryed to find a data base of terms could not find one.

 

[See4Ways]

16g, 18g, 20g, etc are all turbos. anytime its a 2 digit number and a letter its a turbo.

Logging is the term we use to describe how we analyze the data that our ecu is relaying to the car.

Keep looking im sure you may find something along the lines.

Check the vfaq section
