I used to drive an MR2, nothing fancy, just an NA, now if i was bothered about the speed, i'd glance at the speedo. worried i'm accelerating to quick..glance at the rev counter, make sure i'm not red-lining it.

 

Now i'm the owner of a Twin turbo, and when i get a bit enthusiastic, christ! i need another set of eyes!, what do i look at, Cant let the turbos get to hot, check the oil temp gauge. Ah, only got 14psi, keep a check on the boost gauge. hang about, the revs are climbing, quick - check the revs. Bugger, saw a cop, how fast am i doing? check the speedo.

 

The boost and oil temp are on the pillar, the rest on the dash, before i do any damage to the engine or turbos's, i'll do some damage to the bodywork...by crashing!!

 

How do you do it. must be a zaphod to own one...

 

Rich

Lol drive slower

Lol drive slower

 

keeps the revs low

keeps your speed down

keeps the turbos cool

no police to pull you

more time to check where your going

 

 

lmao

 

:rofl:

 

i dont look at the gauges when blasting it, i concentrate on where im going...... lol

Yeah Rich, just concentrate on which way you're pointing her mate ;)

Dave,

I cant, i'm to busy looking at the gauges...

 

I know, if i just get rid of all of them and drive by feel...hmm maybe thats the way to go. Become at one with your car..

 

Zen's art of Twin Turbo..

Just get used to watching the angle of the tacho -i only worry about not over-revving it. When i'm booting it, i know how fast 1st is, how much trouble i'm in flat in third , anything else gets looked at, glanced at whatever when the scenery quits rushing.

Guess i'd rather keep it rubber side down than know what boost its doing today.

Pmsl!! your a nutter rich :D

Hey, when i've been through what i've been through, and take what i take, i think i can be excused a little madness

 

Any way i cant keep a check only of the tacho, 'cos i've just put in a new steering wheel which has a smaller dia and cuts of the top of the tacho off, see...
