How could I?!

Thanks, Tony Z, here goes:

How does KITT use turbo boost?

Turbo boost provides KITT with the ability to gain vertical momentum at a higher speed in order to clear an obstruction. Turbo boost can also provide a burst of increased speed for a short period of time. KITT often determines how much of a boost is needed and will often project what is needed to turbo boost out of an obstruction at any given angle.
