Hi All,
Klaus... that is so true... you never feel it "Kick in".
It's there but like a slow blend of turbo being added to thrust.
It is quite different but I'm getting used to it.
I'm never going to win any drag races with this AWD low pressure turbo... but it's still a
pleasure to drive. Am getting more used to practical applications of semi auto shift also.
don't use it a lot but for gearing down and passing its pretty effective.
As an aside... because of my inexperience with this kind of turbo I replaced my boost control solenoid... (original part on sale) and it made no difference... so I also have a back up now. Just to be definite about this as i am still unclear. I realize now that i am not going to get the same turbo boost OR feel of the high pressure Turbo but do you know that the low pressure turbo would NOT become more "responsive" simply by changing the spring/diaphram combo in the CBV that you get in the IPD kit from stock to medium spring (red I think) like I did in the 850 ?
I'm surprised that it would make no difference. There may be a simple technical reason.
Am just looking to get a little more Vroom.
Does anyone know this for sure?
