well I'm just a poser then, I LOVED the big pssshhhhttt when my piping fell off my turbo :( LOL! After it was fixed I had to take it to 5.5 rpm to get that noise and decided I wasn't pushing my car that hard anymore so I never get to hear it :abuse:

 

And I do have a turbo timer, because I was terrified of blowing up my turbo and having to remember to cool it down, I drive moderately hard and I wanted my car to be safe. After all the research I did all I had to do was make sure my car cooled down, but I didn't trust myself to do that, hence the turbo timer!

 

The things we do huh!

5500rpm sounds kind of soft.

7a is only good for 6200 odd lol

Hope you have fun with the original sportivo, I've always liked the subtle body kit.

 

But dam my shot to shit stock 2TG was still pulling at 8500 whien I decided to back off for fear of the thing exploding. The 7A with some TLC should be good for more thatn 6200.

I'm afraid to take it over 5500, at 5500 in 5th trees are whizzing past me, I'm whizzing past other cars and the car's whining her head off!!!

 

hmmm maybe after the new engine goes in I'll see how far she'll go....

i haven't even tried going past 4500 hahaa

in 5th sure, but what about 2nd, 3rd??

oh, I do THAT all the time :2thumbs: (well to 4500-5000K) very rarely get to the dark side.... I did it once, accidentally, and the inhibitor kicked in, engine stopped revving (until I changed up a gear) and I almost had a heart attack thinking I'd blown up yet ANOTHER engine (looooonnngggg story).

pound the limiter.

 

unfortunatly carbie cars don't have then so things like the 2TG in 2nd just keeps on buzzing

Apart from the rods and crank shitting themselves at 7500rpm......and the rev limiter too stopping the fun at around 6500

Thats what i was thinking
