Quick question for all the rules lawyers: Ork bikers get a 4+ cover save from their smokey, dust kickin' up rides. Do flamers negate this? I'm leaning towards they do.
The other question was for a vehicle that moves 18-24" to get a 3+ cover save from Turbo boosting. Does a flamer ignore its cover save? If its getting its cover from moving so fast and being zippy and dodgy, then it kinda leaves me a bit how the flamer is garunteed to hit

Yes they do ignore cover, both because the rules say so and because the flamer uses a constant stream of fuel that speed cannot possibly get through.

Yes, anything that ignores all cover saves ignores both of them.

Cover save = cover save.

Flamers ignore cover saves.

The entire reason they call it a cover save is so it follows all the rules for cover saves. Including being negated by template weapons.
