Ok... what is bau tec?

I can understand much of the Cantoslang here, but Bau tec escapes me.

You may now pronounce total epic fail... but translate/define it for me first please.

Some cantonese people would also describe turbo as " bau turbo", which means the turbo kicking in.

here are some more canto car slang terms for you guys to guess, some are self evident some hits you like a falcon punch after u see the answer. Feel free to add more terms.
爆tec - bau tec - VTEC kicked in yo
followed by its pronounciation and meaning

can you guess the following terms for meaning? For help I'll put it what it means "literally"
大tec - daai tec - hint: big tec
細tec - sai tec - hint: small tec
起turbo - hei turbo - hint:wake up turbo
mivec黎料 - Mivec laai liu - hint: check VTEC
快cam - faai cam - hint: fast cam
power-lock - power-lock - hint: not power door locks
大尾牙 - dai mei nga - hint:big tail teeth
縮缸 - suk gong - hint:invert erection pot
大包圍 - daai bau waai - hint:big around
好捽 - ho jut - hint:good rub
蝦鬚 - ha so - hint:shrimp whiskers
鮑魚 - bau yu - hint:abalone
東菇 - dung goo - hint:mushrooms
大咬 - daai ngaau - hint:big bite
爭口 - jaang hau - hint: fight mouth

99% of car people in HK and Southern Asia knows these terms, how many terms do you know?

when you use cantonese IME BAO doesn't come out with the correct word at all. BAU doesn't either but BAAU does.

take that.
