    Currently, my Shooter's speed is 1.5. I kept upgrading my Turbo, but this 1.5 didn't buzz by even 0.1 points.

    Is Shooter's speed capped at 1.5? If yes, is this a new change which came with the recent 4.0 update?

    The maximum on my lvl 47 is 1.5. I’m not sure whether this is a change as I don’t normally run shooter.

    Now a rare turbo lvl 50 with 3 epic perks is enough.

    Epic turbo adds nothing.

    Yea T4E Turbo is all one seems to need. I have 2 more copies just in case but so far it maxes out all my boats.

    Yeah, just realized my epic T4 maxes out my speed on all of my ships.
    Could've just had a lower level turbo and still have max speed + lower gear score... :(

    Actually my T5R Turbo with only 2 perks maxes out all my boats. In that I don't think an Epic Turbo holds value in this game any longer. Save your Epic cells for other items.

    After all of these changes, turbo and its perks certainly need to be reworked. It has always been broken that you can hit your cap, and then leveling does nothing for you. Perhaps it should just be in the form of % of top speed. So each ship has a base and a cap. So a turbo item will bridge that gap to a certain %. Basically the formula would be

    Base Speed + [(Top Speed Cap - Base Speed) * (turbo %)].

    Common maxed will be 70%, Uncommon 80%, Rare 90%, Epic 100% and Legendary 110%.

    Not sure what to do for perks unless you want to be able to go above the speed cap more. If speed perks were 2% max, it would add a little, but not much.

    My level 1 legendary turbo with epic perk gives me a max speed on all ships. RIP TURBO.

    Assuming that turbo perks were the only ones which can be fixed onto a turbo, you'd be correct .
    But I've heard that some players have installed additional hp perks on maxed out turbos (the type you can fit on anything) and so have gained a small amount of extra hp .

    Here's YSL's profile. Notice the hp perks on the turbo. The more you develop your turbo, the more hp you can gain

    I noticed that as well. I have both t5 rare and t3 epic turbos, I'm wondering if I should scrap the epic or the rare. Probably rare...

    Do so at your own risk. As I said, it's the Epic Turbo that currently holds no value in this game.... aside from the ability to hold 1 more HP perk I suppose.

    Previously upgrading a turbo added value in the sense that you could reach max speed without crew training and you could choose the other training option for an additional buff.
    I agree that with no training conflicts turbo has lost a major part of its value but I also expect a change to either speed or turbo. It may have been overlooked while working out the update and could be fixed in the near future.
    Personally I would hold on to your turbos since we don't know what will happen. Either they will changes ships base speed, turbos stats or they will scrap turbo all together like gearlube/rudder and allow us to transmute into a shield or bandage.
    Don't make any hasty decisions that you may soon regret...

    Same same, Epic L37 Turbo with 4 epic perks and speed on all boats are maxed out. Not complaining though.

    Btw, think I played a CTF event with you yesterday, got rekted by you and you captured the flag once. :)

    My epic T5 lvl 41 turbo does NOT max out speed on my Mk7 defender. As Yerjokin says above, the higher level your turbo, the more flexibility you have for HP or Global dmg increase perks. Not sure of the value of a T5 Legendary turbo however.
