Question about Turbo Kits and long distance driving

[Hobbes =^.^=]

Just would like to hear from you turbo people. The squirters cool the pistons, but since the 420s block don't have any. Does it affect your long distance driving at all (3+ hours) ? Does the engine hear up enough where it can become bad for your engine?

Oooh.,... good question.... i'm curious as well.. i often drive for 8 hour stretches... in fact, a a buddy of mine and i drove from toronto to San Antonio 29 hours straight in an Avenger, (stopping for gas and food, of course)... i'm considering San Diego next year Don't have a turbo yet, but it'd definitely be a concern.

well if your not boosting the car all the time on the trip it shouldnt make a difference.

you should get better gas mileage on the highway, that's part of the reason turbos are put on cars, they are perpetually more efficient. The more exhaust that flows through brings in more air which creates more exhaust and the cylce starts over.
