How do you drive a turbo?
Okay, My break in is complete... now i need to figure out the proper way to drive a turbo charged car. This is my first Turbo car, and through my break in period I have been granny driving. So please Help.

Use the skinny pedal on the right to go, the square one on the left to assist with shifting, and the middle one for slowing down (optional). Also the big, round wheel right in front of the driver helps to point the car in the direction you wish to travel.

I find that higher RPM's are they key with turbos (duh!). My previous cars to this were all V8's and I would almost never venture into the 3500 RPM range, now I can't stand the feeling of nobalzutal encountered below said range.

And you hit your brakes every time you shift? That new turbo isn't going to help you much

I always wanted to make a video of binary driving man. It would have to be on a car without ABS though. That way you could have full lockup on the wheels when approaching red lights and such.
