Hi Linds,

I was initially informed that forced induction like using turbochargers have some upsides on gas efficiencies at specific speed levels. So far, haven't experienced that yet, moreso the opposite actually.

Two quick questions if you don't mind - are there any tweaks I can do to help counterbalance the gas consumption upsurge? Secondly, is there any harm to redlining a turbo-charged engine or is that typically status quo and permissible? One of my friends told me it was fine to rev it up to flush out some 'carbon' from time to time. What are your thoughts?

Many thanks... Ms. Linds.

Regards,
MA2LIN700
