im looking at a mr2 right now and it has a turbo installed.
now i have no idea about turbos except that it produces more hp.
anyways would it be wise to have a car with turbo as a daily driver?
can u not turn on the psi or something?

Turbo cars are much different from a normal car. . They actualy produce power by taking air from your tires and feed it into your engine. Thats why you always hear people talking about PSI. If someone tells you that they are running 20psi, then that means that they still have a good amount of psi left, but if they tell you that they are running 7psi, then you know thats gay because their tires are almost flat and they need to be refilled asap.

As long as you keep that in mind, you should have no problems.
