Default Hyper .12 aftermarket parts

Hi, does anyone know if a Turbo button is available for the Hyper .12?
I've been advised to try to get one, it should make all the difference apparently.

BTW, I have tried to tune it very lean while it's running, and sure it screams at high revs. But it does seem to have trouble starting at that setting, I think you have to richen it up again to get it to start, then lean it off again before you hit the track.

I tried it at this very lean setting for a little bit, and the whole character of the engine changed, it was changing gear at a different point, and it went like a scalded cat! The potential at that setting is interesting, it requires more tuning/gearing as the back straight isn't long enough now
The thing is of course is how long will the engine put up with that?
Cheers
