Boosting

So how often do you guys boost your turbo? every time your driving or is the power only there for when you need it? For me imma boost ever time im in the car person, i just wonder if everyone else who drives the ss is the same way.

Ha! I'm in boost sometimes every few mins. Even on a road trip, I can't resist a romp every few mins. or less. "Moon"

As soon as you put your foot on the gas pedal, engine exhaust spins the turbo....which means its always boosting... Now if your turbo breaks and you are no longer boosting, you will notice how crappy your car feels.

But the turbo is always on, its just a matter of how much boost pressure it makes.
