Ok, someone please help me out.
Im a little confused about the different turbos available in GT3. The higher stage turbo you use obviously gives you more power, however what i dont understand is why would you use anything less than the highest available turbo for your car if you want maximum overall power?I thought that a stage 1 or 2 turbo would give you a quicker take-off than a stage 3 or 4, but is this the case?
From what i can see a stage 4 turbo can do eveything a stage 1, 2 and 3 turbo can do only better. The only dissadvantage of the stage 4 turbo that i could see, is that it forces the car to loose more traction on take-off therefor making it a little slower on the starting line. I would have thought a stage 4 turbo would have a crappy take off due to a long spooling time and not due to fact that it makes the car loose traction on take-off.
i dont know how real PD have made the turbos in gt3, but im finding it hard to justify why i should use a stage 1, 2 or 3 turbo when a stage 4 turbo out-performs them from 'take-off' all the way to the finish line.
The only time that i dont use a high stage turbo (i.e 3 or 4) is when i am drifting OR i dont have enough money. Other than that, i dont see the benefit in using a lower-stage turbo. I havent mucked around with it too much so i could very well be mssing something.
In real life, smaller size turbos generally give you better acceleration, and larger size turbos give you more top-end grunt...right?
Ok, now this is just my opinion, and im kinda new to GT3 so someome please elaborate on this topic. Are there any other benefits to using smaller turbos in the game? Do they have better acceleration capabilities?

) and is much easier to win, even if they're faster than you on the straights. I recently completed the JGTC (I think that's the series name) Professional with a underpowered Denso Supra. I thought I needed at least a Stage 1 turbo, but I was often out in front by a good half minute at the end of each race. I think without the Turbo upgrade I still could of won, with more of a racey feel to it.
