rolling in neutral while on freeways and downhills is trouble waiting to happen

Forgive my stupidity, but what could happen? Not that I go around at 100km/h on the freeway in neutral or anything, but occasionally I will slip it into neutral before I come to a complete hault at traffic lights (at 15km/h or so).

Don't agree

I like to be able to tap/burst on the accelerator at any time I want with out having to shift from N back into gear for all the "shitt happens" scenario's. On more than one occason a quick tap of the gas has gotten me out of trouble from morons who get close to slamming into me from behind or the side.

Further to that I always stay in the appropriatte gear for optimum accelration. No point tapping 5th when your going 20KM p/hour

also, i never ever roll in neutral (unless im super low on petrol!)

Rolling downhill or decellerating in neutral uses more fuel.

The efi cars cut fuel when decellerating as a method of improving fuel economy. I generally just pop it in third approaching traffic lights and let the engine do the majority of the braking.

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
