We need to deal with different car models as they arise - turbo or otherwise. As for aftermarket turbos, their effect is so unpredictable that any blanket rule like this one is bound to fail. Hence they are treated as illegal modifications in ST.

The question of boost enhancement via chipping is an independent one, and has yet to be answered. (Presently, we rely on members' consciences. I know of no other affordable approach.)

Got it. I wasn't aware of the rule limiting chips to stock boost. Thanks to everyone for clearing that up... and I agree that the rule is confusing as written.

I believe this rule started for the SP prep level, before the ST prep level existed and was intended to be used for cars that were adding forced induction. I agree that the point that the rule no longer really exists and is covered elsewhere.
