How much does turbo boost top speed/thrusting?

I didn't ask you to invade anything for me. I know how to invade. I am just trying to figure out whether a turbo is worth it module-wise.

Turbo = pressing shift for greater top speed/thrust/handling etc.

This confuses me. That's why i asked if you meant afters. Turbo isn't a module as far as i know.

No, but it requires 200 regen to have perma-turbo. I want to figure out whether it's worth it..

You're trying to figure out whether it's worth getting the modules necessary to have 200 energy regen so that turbo doesn't drain energy?

Yes. I want to know whether that actually helps me regarding top speed and thrusting or not.

I'm still a bit confused, but having high energy regen doesn't really help you all that much in regards to turbo - like it doesn't improve the performance of turbo thrust, just how much energy it takes off while you're using it. It's personal preference. If you like to not lose energy while you are thrusting, then get enough energy mods or artis to do so.

Personally, I don't mind periodically lifting from turbo-thrust to regain energy lost while thrusting, so I use those module spots for other things such as speed (flight mods) or thrusting (thrusters mods).

I would say no.. you don't need to have turbo on the ENTIRE invasion..there are times when you want to slow down.. for example when making a turn on a slide, if you keep going fast you'll just bounce. Just make sure your energy regen is high enough so that when you need to use turbo you can comfortably.

Perma-turbo requires 180 energy now. I have the perfect combo now. Thanks anyway.
