turbo = 5 min driving with no bars and engine will stop or maybe my gauge is off.

the last 3 bars last 5 minutes. Seriously though I think about I'd be good for maybe 25 Miles max.

I did 40 to near 50 miles and it started to sputter on me so I would say drive up to 25miles and don't push your luck.

When a car runs out of gas does it hurt the engine? I generally always drive until my gas light comes on. Haven't run out of gas yet, but some people have said its bad for the engine. Any truth to this?

It's bad because the fuel pump has to work extra hard to scour the bottom of your tank which contains the dirty fuel/sediment on the bottom.

More chance of sucking up bad stuff into your engine.
Could it also clog injectors??

I try to not go more than about 10 miles on zero bars.

There's actually a fuel station on site at the track. Fill up the minimum needed to get to the gas station by the freeway and you should be good.
