Someone told me that on a jetbike the farseer and warlocks get a 3+ invulnerable save, i couldn't find anything in the rule book or codex that supports this, so i was wondering if this is true??

It's not true. The only 3+ invulnerable "farseer" is Eldrad and he can't have a jetbike anyway.

Eldar Codex pg26 and pg27 - Rune Armor 4+ invulnerable save

BRB pg 53 - Bikes & eldar Jetbikes - Only increase Toughness by 1 point, and this still does not help to protect from instant death (double T3).

Edit - this is a rules question I will alert a mod.

Turboboosting with the jetbikes will net you a 3+ Cover save though, maybe someone is confused on terms or lost in rules editions?

BRB pg 76.

Turboboosting in 4th ed took away your armour save and made it invulnerable, meaning they got a 3+ invulnerable in 4th ed.

5th ed has replaced the variable invulnerable save with a fixed cover save of 3+

Also note that a unit of farseer and warlocks that casts fortune on themselves cannot turboboost that movement phase. Ya need a second farseer to get the rerollable 3+ cover =/

Because turboboosting prevents you from taking any voluntary actions that turn. Psychic powers are a voluntary action.

Jetbikes also provide a 3+ armor save on top of your 4+ invulnreable, just something to remember.

What harm can it do to find out? It's a question that left bruises down the centuries, even more than "It can't hurt if I only take one" and "It's all right if you only do it standing up." Terry Pratchett, Making Money

"Can a magician kill a man by magic?" Lord Wellington asked Strange. Strange frowned. He seemed to dislike the question. "I suppose a magician might," he admitted, "but a gentleman never could." Susanna Clarke Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
