Finally got round to starting to read this months magazines this morning, and looking that new article on the new Turbo.

Apparently it has a turbo boost button that gives an extra kick up the ass for 10 seconds. This seems somewhat pointless, unless it happens to be along the lines of Night Rider or Night Hawk (the one about the bike) and allows you to perform death defying jumps in complete saftey. Always useful for bursting through walls and jumping fences :D
.

The button is next to the gear stick, would have thought it would be better on the stearing wheel, so you can hang on as the car takes off.....whooooooooosh!

Seems like a bizzare notion to me, can't see it being all that useful. Is the 0.2bar extra boost so powerfull that you can only use it for 10sec at a time. Wonder how it feels?

Mark.

I used to have a hi & lo boost setting on my Boost Controller on my Evo 7.

Used to have some serious fun pressing the button for hi boost (1.7 bar), gave about 380bhp :D

Isn't that (the boost button) the sport button if you have the "sport chrono" package?

Streethawk, I knew Nighthawk didn't sound right, wasn't that the Jack Killian character in midnight caller. GOd I watched some crap!
