You don't get it. The turbo is the restriction in the system and the turbine works off the pressure differential between the exhaust before and after it. On a turbo car the turbo is what is producing the torque. Faster spool up means more torque sooner. How do you get faster spool up...

way too thick...

No, the t-stat doesn't operate from pressure, it's temp.

Why on earth would you not do the swap?

Bullshit, the shipping is never at buyer's risk. If you bought them through ebay, get ebay involved (if they even will anymore).

Would require custom pistons, and overall it's a waste.

Ouch, in that case gonna be a whole lot more. The tranny alone is like what, $3k by itself?

I'd offer 10 at the most as it's an N/A auto with a shitload of miles on it...

Oddly purple power/super clean doesn't hurt many plastics, but it will dry out rubber IIRC.

Yep, they're pretty damn awesome.

Lighter? The stock mirrors are pretty damn light as it is... If you want really light, use the tiny ones that look like they're off a motorcycle.

It's 27 here right now lol

True, you shouldn't have to spend a dime to have them repaired.

I have projects to work on it the garage as well and the heater isn't cutting it at all. Cold hands don't work correctly and I've always gotten the worst injuries because of it. I need a bigger heater...

I'm sure they could be repaired...

Simple green, purple power, and super clean will all attack paint and aluminum. Simple green is the mildest of the bunch, but I'd still be very careful.

Heated mirrors are good for any moisture ;) One of my favorite features of our cars...

Yep, most true engine degreasers won't hurt the rubber. Still gonna have to scrub a bit and a pressure washer helps get most of it off.

Yep, the fugly (imho) bomex mirrors. Prefure the Ganador or S2 mirrors (though none of the aftermarket mirrors have heaters like the stockers so far as I know)
