<VV> RE: Turbo Question

[Western Canada CORSA]

In a nut shell, it was too complicated.  Other folks on the list have
already detailed the reasons for that today.  However, I did want to post a
link to a picture of a NOS bottle of the "Turbo Rocket Fluid" used in the
Water Injection system on the Jetfire.

  Hi Joel,

  Just out of curiosity, what was wrong with the Olds turbo system?

    It was the first SUCCESSFUL production turbo.  The Olds Jetfire came off
the line about a month earlier, but was a dismal failure, with GM eventually
offering the replace the troublesome turbo with a V8.
