I scratched my head at that post too...I was just looking to start an easy-access FAQ thread, but apparently someone's got some hostility pent up heh..

Yeah, well in 3 months there have only been 11 posts for this thread with no thoughts from your so-called tech savvy "Turbo" pros.
And yeah, turbos are temperamental since their performance is affected by so many variables. But, if all you are doing is just every day driving, there isn't much difference than driving a non-turbo vehicle. So, they really don't need any special handling as long as you don't beat it up on the race track or on the street.
But, in your original thread, you mainly asked for racing tips, and none of the "Pros" had any helpful hints for you.
So, again, why need a sticky?

"Really?" "Which" "ones" ("the" "variables")?

"You" "already" "said" "this." "Does" "this" "mean" "it's" "double?"

Just another one of the "pros" with nothing to say. No positive input, just clever remarks with no value.

Hey, if they're clever, that must have some value.
