Hi guys

almost 2 weeks of GTST ownership now and loving it ... however

with a few ponies under the hood ive noticed boost likes to kick in all at once @about 4kn rpm which makes attempting to go forwards bloody difficult on full throttle.

any idea if its possible to remap with a more gentle torque curve without loosing BHP so the boost kicks in more gradually rather than all at once, improving handling and acceleration control?

*note* i know s**t all about how turboed motors work so apologies if im talking s**t

Ta

do you know if you are still running the stock boost solenoid - right of engine bay behind airbox/filter with vac pipes coming out of it

or are you running a boost controller to control the boost?

Not sure what type of turbo that is, but it sounds to me like it is quite large.

2.5 litres of displacement still isn't massive, if that turbo is on the large side, spool up time will be slower, but it will make decent power.

When I start tuning mine I'll be keeping to a relatively stock size tubby, but with uprated internals. I would rather have boost from 2.5k and a little less maximum power through preference

if rsp tuned the car you best speak to them, if thats one of there reworked stock turbos lag really shouldn't be a problem but if it is cams are a good way to go

Give rsp a call, im sure they can help with a re-map to suit your needs.

I wish I lived closer to rsp :eek7:
