Hi there, I've seem some posters talk about turbo boost in the forums, but I'm not sure exactly what they mean.
Do they mean...
1) When the turbo on the car is at the max (i.e. in the turbo screen on the dash), then the car will get a boost in acceleration?
2) When the car is at 5,000 RPM, the car will have massive acceleration?
I've found that the CivicX accelerates pretty fast and smoother, after turbo lag, pressing the throttle petal up to 3,500 RPM to 4,000 RPM. I've never taken it to 5,000 RPM (our roads/highways here are too short and usually has traffic. Or police).
So at 80mph/100kmph at 4,000 RPM, it's going really good. I'm assuming that at 5,000 RPM its going even faster.
The question is, when and where is there a 'boost' effect? Will I notice? IS THERE a sudden boost effect or does this refer to just faster acceleration at higher speeds and RPM?
PS: Side question, what is the actual top speed of the car?
