@sparkysmini

Why go turbo? Seems like a completely pointless question..... to go faster?

Do you know how turbo's work?

The exhaust gases flowing through the exhaust flow past "fan baldes" which are connected to another "fan balde" - which draws air in, and pushes it to the throttle body. Then because its forcing more air into cylinder [thus raising compression] you can add more fuel - and THAT is how you tune an engine. More air - more fuel - more power.
