I trust the strength of the Turbolife more then the crash bar
as a structural engineer, i trust the crash bar installed in the car to adequately brace a crash.
so does Mazda (litigation threat)
the federal government / DOT / NHTSA (crash testing)
insurance companies... the list goes on.
i do not trust something with no engineering background (turbolife you can correct me if i'm wrong).
a bigger, denser, heavier, whatever - piece of steel doesnt make it safer. engineering takes a lot more than that - it's about geometry, material properties, etc. to demonstrate the concept: take a 1x4. can you bend it? probably. now stand it on end. can you bend it that way? probably not. increasing it to a 2x4 doesn't change that.
you can trust whatever you want, but if you get in an accident its like you're betting on red when those of us with the crash bar are the house. i won't take that bet, especially not as a 18-25 year old male who would get dropped from insurance in a heartbeat if they ever found out.
phew. enough ranting.
that being said, turbolife does have the best performance.
