I've never seen warm white CFLs that turned yellow with age. My Osram Duluxstar 8W/827, which survived more than ten years, retained its 827 colour until it died for good. This is the case also with my Hyundai Teva 20W 827 color helical CFL. Only my Hyundai eco bug light CFL, shifted from 2500K to an ugly mustard yellow, either because of degradation of its yellow cover, or because of my vision.

I think a turbocharger in an economy faily car won't make much difference. The whole engine is the limiting factor, not its air intake...

The spectrum of CFLs becomes poorer as they degrade and components of the three Phosphors wear out. LEDs are there right from the start, with only one Blue peak from the chip and one Orange band from the Phosphor

I've also seen CFL's seem dull yellow (mainly warm and soft white) but the reasons behind that always seemed
to be the center plastic cover in between the fluorescent tube portion of the bulb, near the tube ends.
The light ricocheting off of that slightly burnt yellow center does seem to make a difference, at least from
all of the ones I've seen.

I seen that color appear in directions from which the Plastic is not visible, so the main part of the effect gotta be from the tube output itself. But that we allready know, even new tubes of the same color from different manufacturers and batches look different

I thought the whole point of the turbocharger was to add power to the engine and combust fuel more efficiently, hence the whole point of it...

Wow I didn't think of that. Now that you mention it, I've seen CFLs with yellowed bases that give off more dull yellowy coloured light than a new CFL with a white base.

Of course that as well as the fact that the phosphor degrades over time.

I find some CFLs have an awful peach colour for warm white and some have a sterile feeling blue colour for daylight. Some Sylvanias are bad for this which seems to vary from batches.

This can be tested. Get a new and an old CFL, and transplant the tubes and ballasts

I spotted that too. The WW CFLs look to me like if they overdone the Red component, trying to please the users who were complaining that the light of CFL is not the same as GLS back in the day

For me I prefer to have anything 3000K and above in the bathroom and kitchen (cannot stand incandescent 2700K in bathrooms, so unrefreshing!) I can't stand daylight 6500K LEDS that give off a bluish white bicycle flashlight colour but I kinda find LEDS with an 8000K violet colour quite fascinating as it reminds me of worn out MH lamps.

When I was 12 years, the 2700K colour temperature I found was a big YUCK in my opinion when it came to CFLS. Don't mind 2700K FL tubes they are OK
