MY only turbo vehicle driving experience comes from my 05 Dodge ram w/Cummins diesel and auto trans. I know when you wind up the turbo and let off the gas, like when doing a burnout in the waterbox, it still wants to push the truck. Doesn't brake very easily during decel.
I'm guessing a turbo car is the same. Could the problem I described in the truck be from having power brakes and just not getting enough vacuum during the decel? I've been thinking of ditching the power brakes anyway

thanks

Diesel's run hydraulically assisted brakes, there isn't any vacuum in a diesel engine...no throttle to create it. A diesel wants to overrun because of the high compression. Compression stores energy and pushes the piston down once it rotates over top dead center. Also the drivetrain of the diesel truck is very heavy and the wheels and driveline don't want to just stop turning at once.

Your turbo car should not have any trouble.

You can't compare a diesel to a gas engine. As said above, they have no throttle body and zero vacuum. They operate totally different. As for the Cummins...awesome engine, Jose and Jason build tons of turbos now for the diesel crowd.

Good deal guys! I never really loooked into why the diesel did that and didn't know if it was common with all turbos. No more worries

thanks
