235kph in my 2001 VW GTI 1.8L Turbo.

Straight away coming in to chilliwack from hope, at 1am.

Pulled over, checked the engine, the turbo was glowing red like a cig

S'all about the Hwy #1 in the wee small hours of the AM. Back when I had my MX6 I did 180km/h (speed limiter) from Agassiz to Burnaby at 2am. Made it in 37 minutes door to door.

Worst thing you can do to a turbo (aside from dirty oil/air) is turn off an engine and let the turbo spool down dry after hitting excessive highway speeds. It's the last place oil gets pumped to in most systems and has some of the highest occuring mechanical speeds in a vehicle. 200k + rpm. Let it idle for 10-15min after. The extra money in gas will make up for the 2000$ bill when your turbo explodes.

230'ish in a 2003 ford diesel. turn the key forward, as though to start it, after you max out, it'll reset the governor. don't try in older vehicle, you'll engage the starter and rip out your flywheel/starter.

not really a secret... any car enthusiast should know about how turbos work and the need for a turbo timer etc
