its a good newbie question but i was just wondering because i've never really felt the experiance of getting into boost in a car so i mean if anyone can tell me the basics and if anyone could also tell me the best and easyiest way to find out that my turbo isn't siezed up.

if you don't feel anything you've got serious problems. Boost is a very distinct feeling. You'll know if your getting it.
