But how much lower can you boost it and still have it work efficently, the article says on the low boost level for the 700hp rated turbo it makes 384 hp and runs 13's. I thought having a huge turbo pushing low boost is bad because you're just wasting all the boost venting it through the wastegate and you still get the big turbo lag. Isn't even that power level pushing the stock suspension and chassis, even though they are very good stock? It seems like the guy is taking it in a direction made for pure drag racing, don't you think he'd at least have a tower bar? He'd have a smaller, quicker spooling turbo if it was meant to see a road course. I don't think the guy is taking in a direction where it's meant to see many corners, and I think that's dumb because that's the car's inherent strength.

Something that's either slow out of a corner, or snap oversteers because the power comes on sudden and hard would take some of the fun out of it undoubtedly. But I guess you are right, it would still be a fun car to drive, even if I would do it differently if I had an S2K. That is fun given you managed to keep the right end facing forward, which would be an exciting challenge in itself, whether the car is set up best to tackle a road course or not. Point taken. h:
roffle :rofl:

tower bar? a representation of going in a different direction? seriously just stop arguing you fucking chach.
