Full Throttle S70

posted by  someone claiming to be JW on  Mon Nov 25 17:52 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I drive a 98 S70 GLT with 90k. I have had it now for six months and have yet to have floored the pedal. Should it be avoided, and is it hard on the turbo? How do you know when it kicks in? Do any of you floor it on a day to day basis, say merging on to a highway etc. Any concerns or troubles to note. Am I being overly cautious? Is the engine protected from over boosting etc..

Thanks.

Ps I don't have any mods or anything.
