merin234 Member 9 Member For: 14y 1m 1d Gender: Male Posted 28/10/10 10:20 AM Author Share Posted 28/10/10 10:20 AM So basically it suppose to feel a bit linear on stock boost and when the boos is up to 14 psi or so it will be a bit different?I remember even my old STi felt a bit linear when I turn the boost to 8-9 psi. The power delivery was very different on 16psi.I'm wondering if it is the same for xr6 t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much nicer to drive and far more predictable which makes it safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
