It helps on a small turbo too, but isn't usually needed.

Not usually when racing similar displacement, but it's amazing to note the difference even with a Td05 frame turbo when racing a large static displacement V8 --it's an easy car and a half disadvantage without it.

Brake boosting should be part of a balanced diet for any turbo racer.

Yea, but what are the side effects of brake boosting a lot? Has to warp rotors and wear through pads I'd think.

Re: Evo flyby

I would suggest that it would add no more heat then braking to a stop from speed. The brake system is not aware if the rotating force of the wheel is being applied by the engine or the road.
