Turbo

Turbo is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas. It grants +1 to turbo upon consumption. The effect of turbo is a brief slowdown of the surroundings, including everything from your enemies' movements to projectile speeds (your own projectiles' speed included). However, you are not slowed down yourself - your own movement speed and fire rate remains intact.

You have the option of receiving the recipe for Turbo from Diane of the Great Khans on the first leg of the Aba Daba Honeymoon quest. The recipe requires:
 * 2 Broc Flowers
 * 1 Cazador Poison Gland
 * 1 Jet
 * 3 Turpentines

Characteristics
Turbo causes a brief 'bullet time' effect that dramatically slows the passing of in-game time, which in turn has many effects on the enviroment around the player. Turbo will not slow player collison physics, movement, or actions. NPCs will experience an opposite effect and suffer heavy speed penalties to the aforementioned stats for the duration of turbo, as well as object physics. However, projectile speed from guns or thrown items will be slowed for both the player and NPCs since bullets, grenades, or thrown melee skill weapons are under the effect of game physics once shot or thrown. This same physics effect applies to manipulable objects as well such as loot-able items or objects that can be moved with collision effects.

Periodic status effects have longer delays between each tick or application of the effect and a longer over-all duration while in Turbo. A poison that would normally inflict 6 damage every 3 seconds would have a longer delay between periodic applications of damage and would have a coorespondingly longer duration. The duration extension of status effects also applies to non-periodic status effects such as the duration of a stealth boy if one were to compare its duration while in a constant period of turbo to the duration it would have outside of turbo, the stealthboy worn in turbo would last longer. This does not mean that activating turbo would extend status effects after it's duration. The game only matches the duration of the effects and periodic timers to the slowed 'turbo clock'.

Turbo is most effective for a melee/unarmed character (since player animations are not slowed, so one can attack with rapid impunity if properly positioned), particularly against faster, tougher opponents, such as Deathclaws or Praetorian Guards. Pop Turbo, move to their side where they can't hit you/respond quickly, and hammer away.

Challenges
Fast Times: Use Turbo 20 times.
 * Reward: Fast Times perk which increases the duration of the Turbo effect.

Bugs
Using the C-finder's targeting while under the effects of turbo can cause a crash(PC)

Location
It can be found all over the game
