    white smoke when taking off?

    new mtw website?

    I've noticed that mtw has updated their website but contrary to the ordinary lineup he had stage 1,2, mad-max, 3, and 4. what are all the new turbos on there? there's like a m-1 m-1r and so on does the r stand for re-manufactured or something
