Do you advertise your turbo?
Just trying to get a handle for what people do when they get a turbo. Stick with the sleeper look or do you guys stick on knockoff Porsche "turbo" logos on your trunks or something very subtle?
Either way, share what you do.

Sleeper. Straight cut non polished exhaust tip, offset intercooler that will be painted black.
But I do like cars that are obvious, and I love the sound of the part throttle turbo garble/whine on unrestricted exhausts when you are behind them. Paul's car sounds sick.

Spray the IC at an angle so you only get paint on the ends of the bar and plate.

Well, my olive-drab-*******-green miata and gold rims isn't very sublte. But at least I have a little hp to back it up.
No IC yet (too dayam lazy), but it's amazing how many drivers speed up just to see if I'm running an intercooler.....as if the dual-pillar pods don't give it away.
The BEST part about driving a miata is that people don't know if you're boosting 6lbs or 15lbs. When I first got the turbo in I was cruising on the freeway when an S2000 pulled along side of me. He looked over and gave the loud pedal a little jab. I did the same thing except it was exclamated with a "PsShhhHH!". He looked over and shook his head, "Noooo..waaaay". I tried to get him to bite (I would most likely lose), but he wouldn't do it!! I guess he thought i was boosting 20lbs or something,lol.
This has happened a few times. Fun.

With flares, stripes, and big *** tires everybody expects my car to be FI'd. It was quick NA, but looked faster than it was in a straight line.
I don't drive it on the street much, but when I do, I get all kinds of idiots wanting to race. Now if I can ever get this thing tuned, I may have something for them.
