Just drove the car back from tuners (Dawe Motorsports).....AMAZING and freghtening power and torque throughout the RPM range. Full boost in 1st Gear between 3000-4000 RPM ..hard to look down as the rear end was ALL over the place, 2nd Grear saw .8BAR around 3000RPM and rear end began to sway, 3rd Gear a quick wiggle around 3000 and then a missle-like linear pull to redline.....awesome. On-ramps felt like a pinball when the plunger first launches the ball..lol
The tuner said this was the fastest single turbo-car they ever built and were surprised by the perf of the ball bearing (GT35). Guys - I am only at .8BAR and despite my initial protests for 1+BAR, I couldn't image needing anymore power (did I just say that?). Beyond my driving capabilities at this point.
As described - the turbo feels connected to your gas pedal. Linear but still the infamous single turbo kick-in-the-pants feel. Have to say Chris (TurboKraft) told me this from the start, but I was a skeptic. Engineer by schooling, I questioned the step-function improvement gains people described. Sorry Chris...and ..James (who finally talked me into it)....at least I didn't learn the hard way and go with the KKK!
PS. there were 2 people or 400lbs of smiles during my driving "exibition"
