I'm pretty sure that it controls how quick the boost comes on..

as in how much wastegate creep there is.

EG.

If your boost is set to 15 psi, normally, your wastegate starts to open before that to make the boost come on in a controlled and smooth manner and by 15psi, the wastegate is open and only allowing 15psi to be produced by the turbo.

If your controller is set to SHARP, then the wastegate will not open at all until something like 13 psi.

so up till then, all the exhaust gasses are going through the turbo and the boost comes on really strong. It's not a smooth boost delivery, it is more like a huge rush to the set boost limit..

In a rear wheel drive car, setting it to SHARP is probably not the best option cause it's just goign to fry the rear wheels.

in a 4wd car.. That could be fun..

You basically need an open stretch of road (er ok dyno) and a co-pilot. You basically want it to rise as quickly to the boost position without having any "flat" spot (like it goes up quickly, then the reach to full boost takes ages), and also where the boost doesn't drop off when your foot is flat to the floor during redline. I find about 1/4 of the way around works best for me.

Played with it a lot, I think i've got in on the perfect position at the moment for my car.

That'll only cause spiking boost anyhow, and it won't hold your desired boost either.

    • They work on really anything track related now. They do my mates r35 gtr and it's a weapon of a car.
    • I use the penrite 600f in my cars and have had no issues even at Townsville v8s when I drove that but I bled fluid end of day for just in case. Good value and a about 38-40 on sale. Use castrol srf on the supercars and no need to Bleed brakes over a race weekend. Do the 1000km with no issues. Over 120 a bottle I seen at repco. A quality brake pad is always a good starting point the ebc stuff I've seen let go after 2 sessions with heavier cars. I'd be going to a decent track pad and maybe those porsche air guides on the control arm to help with some air over the rotor. Helps on 86/brz with stock callipers.  
    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
