boosted baby goes on vacation...
I just drove my turbo honda civic from San Diego to Corvallis Oregon today to visit with my mom. 1080 some odd miles. Car was 100% perfect. Nothing fell off and nothing blew up. 
I kept it in 5th gear between 80-90mph the whole way up any hill or mountain. Gotta love the torque from the turbo. Passing is really easy too...
With the cruise control at 80mph i was getting around 35mpg too...around 400 miles on a tank of gas. Not bad i even have 450cc injectors too! Its awesome when things work correctly.
Oh ya..and it rained 1/2 the way too...which was way cool because my intercooler is all nice and clean now!
