I wouldn't say it was normal, I think the majority or modified Turbo owners are BPU at around the 300bhp mark (generalising somewhat!).

Oh... all i see are people running 500, 700, 900 bhp i have no idea how they manage that kinda power... im just scare the car will spin or flip or something mad will happen.

Im just driving it around keeping it on spoolup range 1-4rpm. Full boost just feels too much for me. full boost is only 1.4bars of boost heard this hks gt3037rs can do 2.1bar i dont think i will ever go there.

I was doing some pulls with my brother yesturday and just couldnt keep up wit him on top end when im hiting 120mph his 3000gt vr4 just start pulling in front. Both running around 450bhp that got me angry but i got him on take off and 0-100 hehe

I guess thats the difference from a v6 3.0L tt

Changing early is easy said then done when it hits full boost from 4000rpm you 0.10s of a seconds to change in 1st and 2nd gear im not that fast on changing gears if you guys know a special way let me know... lol


If you're really struggling then fit a shift light.

I think the only real solution is to change / adjust the lsd from 2 way to a 1.5 way so it doesnt lock up 100% i guess thats why the car twitches at redline

ears!
by that im talking about learning to listen when your near 6-7k and changing.

coming from a 400hp mr2, i had no problems keeping it in a straight line in the dry and hitting the limiter unless i was trying to induce some spin (and knew i woul hit limiter)

i had toyo R1Rs out back.

Im not that bad at hearing i got a blitz nur spec trust me i can hear it, but it just twitches... i blame it on the 2 way lsd. i dont know how ur setup is but mine spoolups up real fast when it hit 4rpm i would love to see if u can catch in 1st and 2nd gear. I will call u superman lol.

A brief list of my modds
3sgte st215 caldina engine with coil packs
Machine ported and polished head with over sized valves and seats
hks 2.1 storker kit very rare still 86mm :)
Hks cams and pulleys
hks3037rs turbo
typhoon ecu
race logic traction control
Carbonetic clutch not sure which one but it cost me 2.5k and sound like 2 people having a sword fight.
Gearbox uprated harden gears and final drive 3.93 with lsd 2 way
dash2pro it got 8 or 10 shiftlights ... still it hard to catch
wide wheels and arches 9jj front and 10jj back goodyear f1
Etc etc boring boring boring i know...!
30-35k spent i wish i was joking this is a deposit on a house... :(
Now you would think all this would help...

I even got some stupid big ass calipers on the front 8 pot d2 with carbotech and rear that came with the car.

It was 364bhp before pw fu#d it up im not allow to say rules... so that was comfortable. 400bhp im not sure how much of a difference that is but 450bhp+ is nothing like 364bhp.

your twitching because your hitting the limiter right??
this is what your saying.

therefore dont hit the limiter.
changing lsd isnt going to stop you hitting the limiter?

Shinning mention lsd locks up when it hits the rev limiter causing it to twitch...
