Default Braking with the motor with a turbo is the same as without it (i mean having a similar motor but

without the turbo)

I ask this because i feel that braking with the motor is very smooth than with a non turbo.

Engine braking does not involve the turbo at ALL...

Default Like, uh, why don't you brake with the "brakes"

Brake with the brakes, thats what they are there for.

When you use "engine" braking, you aren't doing damage to the engine, but you will eventually "Break" the transmission.
