The Turbo's boost is computer controlled and smooooth. Modern turbo cars are just as smooth, if not smoother than mechanically driven superchargers, so no worries.

I've never driven a turbocharged engine... wonder what the combination of turbo and this multiair thing is like. Wouldn't it be a bit lurchy, since the turbo will provide boost at kind of random times, compared to a supercharger?
