Question Should I Put A "turbo" Logo On My Car?

So, should I put a "turbo" logo on my car, or keep it quiet?

My brother in law put the 4 wheel drive system from a passat into his jetta, and put a subtle "Syncro" badge on the back. That was nice. Putting a TURBO badge on your 7 is not. You might end up looking like you went to Canadian Tire and bought the "go fast" Turbo sticker for your car. Leave it N/A badged and surprise everyone.


Although, a Turbo sticker could be good for another 10-12 HP....... J/K

Uh..dude? If you look again I DO believe he does have a turbo but it is a third party, not the regular TII.

Well, this will be the finishing touch on my turbo converstion-
I have the GXL emblem behind the front wheel.
What I am going to do is just get a smaller, scripty, red lower case "-t" after the GXL. So it will read: GXL-t
Small, stubtle. but the finishing touch....

Voila:
