Hmmm but it's only fun if you get up it otherwise it's a slug. Sounds like the old school 80s turbos that behaved very much like this. There was a reason thi...

BMW straight 6s sound godly. Even the little 4 in Winos terrible Hartge sounded alright when you got on it.

Forg;106337 wroteYeah our Redline is flex, but I've never actually pulled into a servo with E85 (and you need a few fills to clear out the tank anyway) so my curiosity has never been sated.

There is a YouTube channel performance engine builders, that show, how the moisture and e85 can remain in the tank and lines for ages. After multiple tanks of petrol.
Though flex sensor cars will read what % ethanol the fuel delivery is. And adjust accordingly.
So stressing about giving a tank or 3 ago isn't an issue

Don't move to the northern suburbs in melb.
Nothing but sick vl and xr6 turbos dosing with no reason.

That MAP sensor on the VW showing 37ish PSI Could be showing P-Gauge + P-atm, but that would be a silly bit of wanky coding to help their owners rub one out.

It would all depend on whether the sensor itself is calibrated to P-atm OR -P-gauge, my Motorola MAP sensor is designed to show only P-gauge and most of these cars will have a seperate atmospheric pressure sensor anyway

Also - dont discount the fact that thoes golfs are being modified within an inch of their lives here, that car could well be making high 30's in the boostability department

The clattery old M40 in the e30s and e36's were even sounded half maybe ok when you rung the absolute shit out of them, despite going nowhere

I'm glad we've moved a bit out of town now - no longer have the 3" piped HiLuxes and other small(er) diesels running ridiculous exhausts because 4WD Action say that you NEED a big turbo back exhaust on your 3.0 diesel, with the same dimensions as used by a 4.5 V8 'Cruiser...

That's because 3" is good for any turbo car, the cruiser needs bigger again..
