the issue is never the HP, its the torque.
limiting torque during the lower/mid rpm band and then increasing it in the upper rev band can do wonders for keeping a not so tough bottom end alive while still giving you a look at me hp figure.
friend wasnt saying they are shit, he was saying that the engineers do a great job of making cheap components feel nicer/more expensive than they are, but at the end of the day, they are still cheap materials.
I need to do some logs for the evos tune.
The only boost gauge it has is the avcr display in the glovebox and I need to maintain about 10 psi for 3000 rpm. Not sure if big crash or great success.
