They think he knows how to handle problems like this and they needed help.
my advise for ponyboy and johnny would be to turn themselves in from the beginning. They were only defending themselves so i dont think anything would happen.
There other choice would have been to turn themselves in and johnny would have gone to jail for manslaughter and ponyboy in a boys home.
Johnny says in the book that they came to him for help ecause they figured that is anyone could get them out Dally could.
He wants to turn himself in because it isn't fair for Sodapop and Darry to be worrying about Ponyboy and Cherry Valence said that she would testify against the socs and say that they were drunk and Johnny and Ponyboy acted in self defence
He say Stay Gold because gold in the poem by Jack Frost represents how everything can be pure and good and he wants Pony to always be like that. It meant that he shouldn't change and be like a normal greaser, and to stay gold and become something different.
It relates to this because Johnny at the end of the book is telling Ponyboy to "stay gold" and to look at the sunsets. Also when it says "So dawn goes down to day" it is saying that nothing lasts forever.
Dallas gives Ponyboy a letter from his brother Sodapop, informing him of the current home situation and how much he misses them and wants them to turn themselves in.

He doesn't, Dally doesn't want Johnny to turn himself in because Johnny would then be forced to go to jail. Dally didn't want jail to change him.
They turn to Dally Winston. Because they think that he would no what to do. Also he tells Johnny " Good for you"

Johnny decided to turn himself in primarily because he was tired of running and hiding from the police. The Outsiders is a novel written by S. E. Hinton.
