SoulSearcher Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 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!

Teddy Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 7a is only good for 6200 odd lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 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.

SoulSearcher Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 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).

Hiro Protagonist Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 The 7A with some TLC should be good for more thatn 6200.
