[DeTomaso] Twin turbo what is it?

[boyd casey]

Nothing like preaching to the choir! Well hopefully someone will benefit
from some information that's new to them.  I have been thinking about re
powering my 73 L and I have been trying to decide between naturally
aspirated, Turbo Charged or Super charged. Everyone tells me that Turbos
give the most power to create a beast!
