Why would ANYBODY want a turbo to kick in - adding more horsepower - when
the traction is limited?

First we are talking about nitrous and not turbos here. Some people like
to turn it on at the start of a drag race and not have it come in later,
others may want in to turn on when they shift in say 2nd or 3rd gear.

The thrill of driving off at a tangent.

#1. traction is always limited. #2. What if you wished to pass a line of cars faster than
without nitrous but not ball to the wall full throttle? Every nitrous equipped car I have driven
comes on with a bang when the nitrous hits, much more so than engine gets up on the cams etch. #3.
40 to 70 in 3 seconds is great but I would like to be able to do it in 4, 5, 6 seconds rather than
the normal 6 - 7 seconds of the non nitrous car. #4. turbo are throttle able, you will get
increased performance at less than full throttle if you have ever noticed.

I've read and reread this statement and it is rather difficult to
understand.
If I understand you correctly: A throttleable (my spelling) nitrous
oxide system would introduce that chemical into the combustion process
under less than full throttle to increase power output even when the
car has only a limited amount of traction.
Why would it be be advantageous to introduce even more power under
conditions when the car is close to losing traction to begin with. It
sounds like a recipe for a disaster, or at least losing control of the
car.

I think he means it would have the ability to be throttled back when
traction is lost to avoid what you describe. That would be in contrast
to a system that is just on or off. But if he wants helpful advice he
should really try to communicate better.

OK, that makes sense to me.
