haha i would actually be happy with less boost in first gear. boost + first gear = NO traction ever lol ugh its annoying
but i do run a small fast spooling turbo so, my own fault

ok, i supposed i should be happy:P
but it does spool till 2 psi or 3

but i dont think its faster compared to my n/a setup. or i think im used to the power already ghehehe

the turbo produces the most power in midrange, afther 5700 rpm its end of story.. it gets weak.

also ive hooked up a missinglink yesterday, but now it idles terribly rich, and it seems like the mapsensor is freaking out.
i have an a/f gaug on the narrowband lambda sensor. before i installed the ML the a/f gauge was pendeling. now its in green all the time.
when i installed the ML it was mounted the wrong way gehhe the rac was sputtering and saying blopblopblep. I realized the ML was in reverse.. since then my car runs rich. my a/f gauge says its rich all the time, sometimes is does pendle, but never on idle.

did i destroy my lambda sensor by drowning it with fuel?
