Let's say I have Fastjack and Stilleto and they are now turned (healing,
went to a location, etc.). The question is, can I use their special
ability, which doesn't specify to turn the runner, even if they are turned
??

If a runner is not on a shadowrun and is turned already, then their
special abilities cannot be used. I do not have the rule book in front
of me, but that is how I recall the text advising of such things.

if a runner has an ability that can be used while on a visit to a local or on
a run. the owner of the runner can use that ability once unless it is a
pumpable.biotec can be used once while you can pump tinman as much as you like
if you have the money.

Its my understanding that a turned runner cannot do anything but be
turned. Thats it. Nada. Zip. Zero. Otherwise runners like jade and
archi who specifically keep runners turned will have greatly reduced
effectiveness. This is also why you must turn runners to heal before
your legwork phase. I think it will be errated or more clearly stated
in the rule book, when it gets reprinted, that a turned runner cannot
use or trade gear, use special abilities, visit contacts or locations,
have gear deployed apon them, and probably something else that I forgot.
