Maybe I’m missing something with the turbo but it seems to me by the time the turbo is available to use again, the engine has cooled down enough so using it never caused me to overheat. I was just trying it again and I never let go of the gas in the first 2 stages and used the turbo whenever it was available, and no overheating… i typically do 2 speed shifting, DX110 or Lamborghini, with ABS and traction control OFF..

Really like the idea of police having health (even external might be cool)!

Oh, maybe I'm missing something? As far as I know, the only consequence is that the temperature rises, and you can't use the turbo until it cools down again. I've never experienced having to stop at the side of the road, despite the many hours I've spent playing the original game. Do you know of a video where what you describe happens? Maybe I can implement it, based on that video.

In Original mode, however, high temperatures do have a consequence: engine damage and the risk of blowing it up prematurely.

ahhh, you are right! I fired up MAME and in Turbo Outrun, it lets you get to the very end of the “overheat” meter but then if you hit turbo it flashes “Overheat” and doesn’t let you engage the turbo again until it cools down. Wow, I remember it totally differently, but I suppose it’s been awhile :)
