turbo question which gear?
 

obvious I'm a noob and I've heard someone said the turbo only happens in first and second gears, which doesn't make much sense to me. In the contrary, the wiki page said turbo is limited in first and second gears to protect the engine or something, but it's not limited in 3rd and above. Can someone clarify what these mean?

On stock tune boost is limited in first and second gear to a lower psi...once you hit 3rd you get the full 15 psi..yes you get boost in every gear not just 1st and 2nd

represent genpus strongly, you do

/facepalm

so I got a turbo car, I'm suppose to know everything about car?

Something like 11psi 1st and 2nd
15.6psi 3rd 4th 5th 6th


Reverse you can spike 66.6psi, so be careful

That's why they make that awesome book that comes with the car, its good reading material while taking a shit. And troll the fuck out of this site and get educated like I did its that easy.

i did read the manual, but i don't need to read it cover to cover to drive this car. why don't you show me where this information is in the book? in case you haven't read my post, i did my research and had questions and that's why i'm asking. maybe you should read up what troll is. i don't feel like arguing with a stranger on the internet, so back off and relax.

OMG this question was actually asked!!!

:dunce:

fuck, we are not this bad... Genpu will come back someday... someday....

jesus fucking christ. I'm the one that is NICE to new dudes and you fucking blew my mind. you read a wikipedia page and have a friend who said you only have boost in 1st and 2nd. That is'nt fucking research asshole. Start reading and ask specific questions when you struggle.

+1 to this. You can't read enough if you really want to know about your car.

Incidentally, Sway, what is your avatar?

It's true the turbo happens best in 3rd gear, it's best to just not use gears 1 and 2 you just gotta slip the clutch

Yes... It's called taking care of it

Ok, go easy on the guy. He clearly got some bad info from questionable sources and doesn't know jack shit about turboed cars, so he came here for clarification. He did the right thing by asking the question rather than remaining ignorant. That is the only way he will learn.

Now, to OP, do the following:
1) Go to your friend who gave you the information and kick him in the scrotum.
2) Remove from your mind the idea you can get reliable information from Wikipedia, because any idiot can post on there.
3) As your friend rolls on floor in agony, yell into his face, "And stop posting on Wikipedia!"

don't forget to bounce your testicles in his face while he's on the floor

Research should be done WAY before you even think about buying any car.

To each their own

turbo doesn't happen to me, including reverse. i think the stealership sold me a n/a 3 with badges.

but i have bose w/ mp3 so i guess it could be a speed.

haha fuck you just took off 20 points off gen pu respect :( maybe perhaps the boost also affects how fast your wipers go.

Idk she's hot though

That is Kristen Bell (The chick that played on Forggeting Sarah Marshall)...soooooo fucking hot!!!

Damn sure is, didn't even see that good looking out

OP read this.

I'd cut off my left testicle if she'd let me stick my penis in her lol!!!

Lmfao @ "turbo happens"

"Turbo happens" is the new "Because Racecar"

Lol Genpus don't have 20 points of respect to get taken away in the first place.....

This thread is a joke,

not because the OP asked a question, but because all of the guys talking shit are WRONG TOO.

Boost is limited in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. LOL.

I was waiting to see if someone would point it out. You fag ruining it.

I'm sure the guys all knew.
LOL.

Sorry to ruin all of the fun.

i read somewhere that 3rd was limited, but i always saw 15-16psi in 3rd.

I see 15# in all gears with that shitty factory boost gauge.....:wall:

OP I high encourage swapping to a good aftermarket boost gauge. I swapped to an Autometer one and haven't look back, turned the factory gauge off....and thats how it will stay.

I'm not ready to add anything till next summer, figure I have till then to make sure what i'm doing/need.

Is this Genpu specific? I was not aware of the boost limit in 3rd

i've read it on a few differant reviews of the MS3. i'm not sure if it was gen1/2 specific.

seemed like to me the only time i had boost limitations in any gear was if my steering wheel wasn't straight lol

you guys make seller's proud

Reviews on 07s say 1st and 2nd and reviews on anything later say 1st through 3rd but who knows if that's the case

how come I see 16 psi from 1st-6th then? hm...

psi is gradually limited through 1st & 2nd in gen1 & 1st to 3rd in genpus to prevent burn outs & torque steer because we have fail wheel drive. You will still use the turbo in all the gears, but not as much.
