. Unless someone has created a boost by gear for our cars?
It exists on the Cobb program. The tuner just needs to be willing to do it. I have it set up on my car it's % of boost per gear. 1st usually 40-60% still spins a bit, 2nd 80-90% depending on the power, 3rd and 4th at 100 and you can play around with the percentages to get more or less grip. You can even to 100+% in lower gears if say you are on slicks at the track and the turbo is big so it needs more low end grunt.

Again the tuner just needs to be willing to do it and for the most part none of them like to do it.

Quatrac 5? If so, let me know how they compare to snow tire alternatives. I’ve been itching to try these.

+1, as I am also considering these as the next tire for the daily driver Dekas in 215/45-16, (about the ONLY name brand all season/all weather tire made in that size).

Yeah, nice sized turbo, full bolt ons with a tubular manifold, more fuel, and ethanol or their route(I’d choose pump ethanol myself) and anyone can get that whp. It’s it worth the money is the question? Yes and no hah.
I had a 420whp 9thgen si(when it was new) and I couldn’t really use it being fwd, still fun to surprise some v8s but lower gears, forget about it, spin city. Unless someone has created a boost by gear for our cars?
Yep I have the same setup a Se7eN. I hit 10lbs in 1st, 17 in 2nd, 22 in 3rd and 4th 5th and 6th have full boost at 28.5lbs. Its a life saver with a hybrid turbo.

I hit more boost in lower gears cause you know LAG. Hybrids have that donkey kick of power.

Yeah, well...we'll see if I can get that f^cking ball joint out of the pinch. The Quads won't matter with the control arm dangling.

Wasn't today but yesterday acutally - I ended up cutting my fenders and slapping my 17x9's onto the FiST. First time doing something like this think it turned out real nice.
Right now their on winters 235/45/17's nokian hakka's r3's. Minor rub on the front on full lock ( its a piece of plastic that I'm going to take out ) Still some fine tuning to do left.

Did a boost leak test today. Found a spot on one of my intercooler pipe joints. Hopefully that was it..
