It will educate you concerning the engine management situation.
Concerning running into limp mode, this doesn't randomly happen unless you have an engine computer failure or major component failure which would happen if a motor was naturally aspirated anyhow. What you need to understand that the only reliability difference between an all motor vehicle and turbocharged vehicle is the actual hardware that is added to the engine such as the manifold, turbo, charge piping etc. The distributor still functions the same, the map sensor still functions in the same method along with all of the other sensors.
Most people have reliability issues with turbocharged vehicles because they:
1. Don't buy quality parts.
2. Install everything incorrectly.
3. Skimp on tuning
the list goes on...
What I mean is like right now for example. I am running into what I (and yall) think is a Dizzy problem with my car. Anything over 5k and shit gets chuggy/poppy/ and tach needle spikes. If I ran into a spark issue or something that cause a missfire, or anything else would that hurt the motor more then just being NA? I know the motor doesn't care if its 250hp NA or boost, but both with this car, and my truck, I have run into times when I had to limp it home because it was just barely drivable. Either something ignition failure or sensor or something gone out.
How does this affect the motor when turbo'd. Assuming quality parts. Not high end, not low end.
