MKG's Custom Single Turbo Build

boosted_mx5 · 07-26-2013, 09:44 AM

Update for you guys. Traction will be more of an issue then I thought. The only car I can compare this too, driving wise, is a C6 corvette ZR1. A ZR1 wants to bury you, that's it's goal in life, in second you gently roll the throttle and think "Oh I'll have some more" All of sudden you're 50-75% throttle, in boost and sideways. This Z is exactly like that. We've been working the tuning out and slowly getting more and more psi. Today I was on a straight road, squeeze the throttle gently, thought "Let's go a bit faster" all of a sudden I'm sideways at 6000RPM and counter steering. No idea what psi I hit, couldn't look at the gauges.

You will either be hooked or in a hospital

I did forget to tell him to turn TC off as it isn't scaled yet and it is extremely dangerous as I have heard from other boosted members...

But yeah. I took a half day today at work. so 12 CANNOT come fast enough.
