Thats not really true I can be at 6k and have no boost.MuvverRussia said:Uhh, why?
With a handful of exceptions, turbochargers only normally tend to work once you hit a certain rpm (2500-3000rpmish for a petrol car), as they need to spin up. That's why you get turbo lag.
I can't think of any time you'd want to have a switched turbocharger. If you want to drive economically, then just use less throttle.
you don't get any boost pressure until your over 6k RPM?L0rdMike said:Thats not really true I can be at 6k and have no boost.

i read that completely wrong,lol.L0rdMike said:No just dont plant ya foot to the floor.
I just get the impression they see a Turbo as a on off device. As soon as you hit 3k its OMG Turbo boost.The_Dark_Side said:i read that completely wrong,lol.
thought you had some type of HOOJ turbo fitted to your car..phew.
do you realise how close you are with that sentence to mentioning VTEC?L0rdMike said:I just get the impression they see a Turbo as a on off device. As soon as you hit 3k its OMG Turbo boost.
