Ok just read it. How can I tell if the car I am test driving has bad turboes? I have never driven on of these before. Is it very noticeable when the turboes are bad?

Is the power supposed to be peaky in these cars or is the turbo subtle? Any turbo lag?

If the turbos are bad, there will be lots of smoke coming out of the tailpipe. There is little or no noticable lag in these turbos. The motor produces nice, steady power throughout its band.
