yes, the turbo and NA procedure is the same. make sure you have a pyro before turning it up. turn the screw a 6th of a turn each time, till she starts to run a little warm on the hills then back it down an eighth. thats as high as it can go. if you bought it NA and installed the turbo yourself, you do need to turn it up some to get full potential of the turbo. call up ATS, they should be able to tell you how much.
