I agree..
A turbo is turned by exhaust gas, and I don't see how that would put any
more load on the engine... the turbo itself doesn't actually touch the
engine or anything... it just sorta bolts to a pipe that comes off the
exhaust manifold, then bolts to a pipe that goes into the engine's intake
tubing... I don't see how a turbo coul possibly put ANY extra strain on
an engine
