not sure why you'd not run full boost as soon as you can get it, makes for a faster car!

But if the boost comes on stronger theres no issue.

Not if it translates to useless wheelspin through a corner, if you can delay it til the perfect time of you've straightened out of the exit, then have it hit twice as hard the end result might be quicker.

After reading that it's a pity you can't just go into a local workshop here and get the same thing done to these types of vehicles as easily or cheaply as you can in Pommy land...

Agreed, some of the things they have access to there is fantastic. Id love a Jamsport custom tune on my ST even though the current Dreamscience one is fantastic.

thats what your right foot is for...
you want maximum area under your power curve
