Hi there, I think what you have heard is a little EXTREME to say the least. I would have gone with the Turbo if I was able to but the Race rules here are a little tight when it comes to the Turbo plugs.

The main difference is that the turbo plug motor is more efficient and can make more power. One can go slightly leaner than with the normal plugs. Also the Turbo plug has not got a washer and seals differently.

Other than this, I dont think you will have a problem with the tuning like you are suggesting.
