For real, boost doesnt = bad. If it did, turbo cars wouldnt be massed produced and sold to millions of people.

aren't all diesel or more diesel trucks and cars turbo'ed? and most diesel are more economic then gasoline vehicals (more lowend torque, better gas mileage)

i am driving my car all day with no proplem. i love to drive my babe all day. it worths every penny that i pay for petrol. turbo cars need extra care thats all. and they ll coast you more then a family cars coast.

There are diesel turbos but then there are just regular diesel.
Diesel is unrefined gas, its somewhere around ~50 octane.

I thought all deisels were turbo'd, thats how they get thier output up to par with gas engines. I know all the BIG deisels are turbo'd

Yeah, they even have BOVs. hehe

it's awesome to pull up next to a giant bus and hear: PSSSHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIISSSSSSSS as it shifts

at least, it sounds like a BOV

Turbo guys can have them as DD if they'd like. I drove around turbo'd DSMS for 3 years before my Celica. But, Turbos are not good daily drivers. They CAN be used for them, but moreorless... turbos are meant for play. No one expects the Evo VIII to be a grocery getter, nor was the GT-4, GSX, Supra, Skyline, and numerous others. These are sports cars. I'm saying that these cars shouldn't be used as a DD if others are an option. And yes diesels are turbos with BOVs.
