The back of my 2013 Volt has a Turbo decal.

Does this mean anything?
The odd color makes me suspect is was added by the previous owner. As I can't find reference to it anywhere

 

[Barry]

Yes, that is just an aftermarket appearance mod. There is no turbo or option for a turbo on a Volt. Not even a reason to add one, since it would have no or minimal effect on performance.

 

[BAZINGA]

Please remove it immediately. Neither the Gen 1 or II Volt's have turbo chargers. This is posing in the worst way. Save yourself any embarrassment and remove it today.

Someone thought they where being funny or something. Has nothing to do with the actual car. I remember someone else had put a "supercharged'emblem on his, just because he wanted to.

For "turbo" information, just watch this video by Engineering Explained. This appears to be one of his early ones, they've gotten better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zenMEj0cAC4

I'd leave the turbo emblem there just for grins! Someone will eventually ask if you've really added a turbo to it.

Be careful if you try to remove it. That pressure sensitive tape sticks really good. A warmup with a hairdryer or heat gun on low will make it a lot easier to get off. If you have to pry on it, use a plastic panel tool.

The best tactic I've found for removing that sort of thing is to take waxed dental floss and saw through the foam tape on the back.
Then take WD-40 and spritz some on and let it sit
The tape soon peels of fairly easily in most cases and the WD won't damage your paint, though you should wash it off well after.

Leave it on. Stickers are worth 10 rwhp each even if you aren't running the parts.

I would check under the hood first. You might have a one off turbo kit. If not, the previous owner was a poser, or just lame.

Right, it could be a rare COPO Volt from Yenko.

 

[HomerCooper]

I will Likely remove it then.
Already removed the annoying dealer sticker and plate cover.

 

[Sly Bob]

Yeah I'd pull it off right away as it's an electric car for god sake. The previous owner was clearly not in a reality based frame of mind.

I'm kind of a poser (but not really). I wondered why Chevrolet did not add a Premier emblem to the rear deck of the Volt Premier. So I purchased an Impala Premier emblem and added it in the place where I calculated it should have been placed had it had one. Looks totally stock and legit, but poser-ish none the less.

Anyone know why GM decided against adding the Premier emblem to the Volt considering every other Premier model carries one? It can't be a weight saving measure considering the emblem is plastic and weighs less than air. lol

I figured that if I had to pay a premier price for my Premier Volt, then my neighbor should know about it, right? Gotta show off your place at the top 8%! LOL

My own version of the mod:

 

[HomerCooper]

Used a rubber squeegee to pop it off. A little bit of plastic cleaner removed the glue.

That’s not posing. That’s a legit correction.

I still want to see someone take the 300 badge for a Chrysler and mount it in front of the Volt badge. 300 Volt. Awesome!

The other decal the Volt should REALLY have had from the start... something that actually says ELECTRIC!

I have some GM OEM 427 tags, they are still official parts, so perhaps 396 is avail too. 396 tags would probably be close to accurate, 396 Volt.

In my opinion, the Bolt should be called the Volt, and the Volt should have been called something else. Like maybe Twin Drive. Or Duel Drive. Or the Cruze Hybrid, or Plug-in Hybrid.

I vote we keep it the way it is now.
