If you have the screen for it, watch your transmission temperature. It'll probably be close to 200-210F. Don't let it get above 230F.
Hope that helps. I'm sure others will chime in on your questions too.
Very helpful feedback! I really don't know much about engines, so I don't really understand how a turbo affects things. I do have a transmission temperature gage, so I will keep an eye on it. thanks!
