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 Turbo Recipe 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

Turbo, combined with it's unique perk Fast Times (reward from using Turbo 20 times) and the Chemist perk greatly increases turbos duration when combined.

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 environment 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'.

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)(X-box 360)
