Uhhh ... that would appear to be a non sequitur. A "turbo" is a power
improvement over a standard glider ... it's a big step down in power
(and price) from a standard engine.


Kind of like how Chevy used to call the lowest trim level on their truck line
the "Custom Deluxe" so it didn't sound like the bare bones plain jane that it
was.
The "Turbo" nickname gives a warm fuzzy to those who didn't step all the way
up to a self-launcher.
The whole concept is ironic: You are already low, and now you have to DIVE to
get your engine to start and hopefully get you home.
Sure wish I had a self-launcher (self-starter)!
