well, like i asnwered the other post - this surprises
me but you should know better than me.

i'm sure someday i'll come across a turbo engine to
play with. unfortunately right now i don't have any.
i'm looking forward to getting to see what it's all
about.

still seems to good to be true - like you're getting
something for nothing!! :)

thanks for explaining the 'more work but smoother so
less instantaneous loads.' i don't understand why that
would be, but at least it would explain things.
