Although my turbo isn't at full boost until about 4900 you can hear and feel it start to pull almost instantly.Quote:

Everyday driving is exactly as it was before, so unless I told you the car was boosted you would never be able to tell. Fuel economy hasn't really changed, when driving around town. Driving to work I don't go into full boost any more often than I did VTEC. Boost is for the track, driving along scenic empty roads and any other time that takes my fancy.
It's there if I want it, and that's what I like.
Just for comparison (and to nudge Steve to the next step) I'm full boost by 3500 and power climbs all the way to redline. This would be mostly because of the free flowing exhaust but also partly because of the ball bearing turbo.
My car doesn't feel stock anymore. I generally use a gear higher because the torque deficit is totally gone. Just feels like a bigger engine.
Fuel economy is directly dependent on the right clog. If I drive sensibly I get fairly stock mileage, but that is seldom the case. If i put my foot down I use fuel like it was 1980s price.
Ok I admit it, as soon as I get three bars on the temperature guage I'm in boost every opportunity I get !! :DQuote:
