   WHY would you want to slow your car down to less than a regular eclipse. Unless it is a gas mileage race keep the boost

   no by slowing it down your not actually helping it any at all,you need to run the boost ,if its there use it you actually cant cut it all the way down any way ,you,ll always get some boost from it unless gas is an issue id run it,good luck with it.

   it sounds logical BUT the piping and direction of air and rhe spining of the turbo make the engines differnt…most turbo cars have differnt timeing and compression ratio and other differences…turning to 0 doesnt really shut it of..it opens waste gate…remember to use good oil and coolant…heat will kill an turbo quick…zoom zoom zoom

   Yes, but since turbo motors run lower CR you will be at a disadvantage
