No doubt there Craig! When I spoke to Theo and told him I'd been chatting to you on here and all the sister car thing came up with our cars and mods, then Garrett couldn't come through. I was honestly disappointed for you! You are right 2 weeks isn't that bad really. It has been fun over the weekend though getting a feel for power delivery and what the car is going to be like to drive.

The one thing I really like about the GTX is that the car is so much easier to drive off boost. If you want to go after it then it's a crazy bear in a cage waiting to get out. If not then it's as pedestrian as the car next to me.

To me that is perfect balance. Easy as.

On the 'other' forum a guy noticed my car had been used and photoshopped by a wheel place in a magazine.

Found it...

What a dumb ass... list the car as EGO when clearly the pictured car is black and MY car that has been photoshopped to drop it.

Might just ask him a few questions...

Hey Jack,

Glad to hear you are enjoying the gtx.. What is like off the mark.. What rpm does the turbo kick'in ?

Mine @ 294rwkw pulls hard first & second but runs out of puff in 3rd.. Does the gtx pull hard in first?

Cheers

That I am Craig!

Off the mark it's not as quick as a GT30'd stock car. Top of first it is already turning the tyres. 2nd with the ZF edit it is struggling for grip but really starting to hike and this is only on 12psi. 3rd gear roll on with it on boost and a stock car wouldn't see you.

A good comparison is that my car made consistent 225rwkw stock on 10.5psi or there abouts. On 12psi with the GTX, supporting mods and tune it made 100rwkw more for only 1.5psi extra boost. The way the car was over the weekend it is quite controlled, almost too easy to get power down with good tyres on the car. It just smashes it. 16psi I reckon will be great fun! Make sure you budget for good bushes for the rear end mate if you haven't already. It's need them.

So are you saying a tuned fg T 300is rwkw is quicker off the line.. 1st & 2nd ? ..... I dont want that.. Lol

No doubt the gtx will produce high kws.. Its all a trade off isnt it.. Wish the fg turbo would flow more..

I have the zf tune and turn the tyres easy in second if I choose .. Hehe

That's why I was trying to organise you to have a steer of my car. It is a trade off.

I would imagine that by the time you are in 2nd gear on boost of the GTX car it would be on top of GT30 car and by that stage there is no turning back. It will simply drive away from it... the faster you go, the further the gap will be.

Remember the trade off works the other way too. The GTX is heaps easier to drive off boost as well. So it goes both ways. A well sorted big turbo car vs a small turbo car with the same mods... the big turbo car will win. Yeah the smaller turbo car will get up on the bit slightly quicker but as you said it runs out puff. The GTX won't run out of puff.
