Off to BorgWarner Turbo Systems I go

[EricZ]

The wife and I are leaving tomorrow morning for Asheville, NC to scope out rental properties and meet with my future bosses at BorgWarner Turbo Systems. I landed a 7 month paid internship with them working as a light-duty design engineer. The design engineer manager rides a Uly and posts on Badweb. He has followed my turbo project and contacted me last December to see how soon I graduate from UF. We discussed my time-frame and they offered me the internship.

I look forward to exploring the Asheville area. I love beer and the supply is plentiful and diverse there! We are staying at Aloft, a newer hotel right in the middle of downtown and will spend the weekend cruising the town. We will check out on Monday and meet the DE manager, the two supervisors, and a new design engineer hire for a casual lunch then I'll get a tour of the BorgWarner Turbo Systems facility.

I am really excited for the internship experience. It will be my first professional engineering experience and I hope I will want to return for a permanent position.

Congrats bro!!! [up] The Buell community is collectively proud of you!

If you're down there at the end of April, I EXPECT to see you at the Buell Dragon meet! Let me know if you need details...

Thanks, Sandro! I wish I could make it to the Buell meet but my finals are that next week. I'm going to be studying then. I'll see if I can convince my profs to let me out early

Many congrats Eric! I got a BS engineering degree and it was a HUGE struggle for me. It's very impressive what you have and continue to accomplish! I'm pretty sure most of us are in awe of your talents. I'm sure you will do very well there, and it's much deserved.

Good luck. Hopefully you will still have an interest in turbos after 7 months of eat, sleep and breathing turbos.

Awesome! That is really cool to hear and I bet you are super excited!

I am still trying to land a spot at Google.

Cant say im surprised, and i expect you to do great things over there, hopefully with a Buell or Buell influence.

Already a top authority on Buells, thanks for all the help, cant wait to see what you do from here on out.

Invent a turbo that recycles wastegate blowoff to eliminate lag!
