I really hate when companies usethe word "Turbo" to decribe their
products. As if it was more efficient than the normally-asperated
version of their product.
Do not use Turbo unless you have a turbine propelled by exhaust gases.

I don’t know. The seat must contain somewhere a turbine propelled by
gasses, but I don’t want to think about what gasses the seat’s designer
has in mind. =)

Yes i thoroughly agree. It gets difficult trying to imagine how a set of
TURBO-X PRO car speakers are supposed to work. And what does a TURBO car seat
cover do that another one won’t? The mentality of people that buy these
products peeves me more.

Maybe the air just passes through the flimsy, freshly torn diaphram.
