Default Track times ?'s

Why does it take so much more power to run lower times with a turbo car than a all motor car?

I hope I say this right, If not then help me out. I have worked with alot of racer's in my time with turbo's, when you have to much Boost you break the slicks loose, so what I tell the racer is control the boost, drop the pressure down and what happens lower et. Don't bag me if I am wrong. John@M&H

is it because turbo cars dont get traction? 215 whp is good for low 12s on slicks for an all motor car.
