Like a two-stroke on steriods......they were all running lower compression to prevent detonation on boost, so they had a little less oomph off boost, and then the turbo came on with a yeeeeeehaaaaaa. I had a Yam 650 Turbo that would spin up the tire exiting turns with any kind of verve....made for some interesting times......
