In this episode of Mighty Car Mods, the team delves into the intricate world of turbocharging, seeking the perfect balance between power and drivability for the Subaru laog. With the guidance of legendary figure Al turbo Yoda and the expertise of Scott, they embark on a quest to optimize the car's performance.

As they navigate the complexities of turbo sizing and wastegate adjustments, the team showcases a deep understanding of the nuances involved in fine-tuning a high-performance machine.
