Anyone know how to pronounce this brand?  Tur-bone?  Turb-one?

Know?

No.

But I'm rooting for Tur-bone with the emphasis on the second syllable, as in pretending to read it in French. Which is probably enough to horrify any Francophones who may be reading, but there you are.

Googling brings up alibaba.com, and made-in-china.com. Chinese garbage would be the more appropriate name it seems.

Tur bonne would be the appropriate ish spelling.

Personally I'd go with turboned.

Usage:  my ball and spring manual boost controller failed and now my rods are turboned.

I would not be able to stop myself from using a sharpie and adding an R to the end.

I would call it engine killer.  Sounds like a fishy brand that will cause problems very soon.

Are you sure there isn't some casting flash in the middle of the B and it really is a D? TURD ONE?
