Turbo News was the newsletter of the Turbo Motorcycle International Owners Association. It was published from 1987-2003 and included 51 issues (semi-annually 1987-1992 then quarterly 1992-2003). Turbo News is filled with members' insights, classified ads, hard-to-find turbo article reprints and, most importantly, helpful technical information on factory turbo bikes that simply cannot be found anywhere else. Turbo News averages about 35 pages an issue (contents of each detailed below). When ordering back issues keep in mind that newsletters #1-17 were produced before desktop publishing, so quality is only marginal. The price of Turbo News covers our cost in reproducing, labeling, and mailing the newsletter, maintaining the website, and hosting Turbo Rallies.

Compilation CDs : Three versions - a compilation CD of all 51 issues (1987-2003) of Turbo News in PDF plus bonus dyno charts and graphs on a single CD for $25, a compilation of Turbo News #1-24 (1987-1996), and a compilation of Turbo News #25-51 (1997-2003).

Turbo News #1-51 (1987-2003) CD - $25

Turbo News #1-24 (1987-1996) CD - $15

Turbo News #25-51 (1997-2003) CD - $15
