A big boost spike in first gear wouldn't matter at all because the gear is over in like one second. Besides if you have to be worried about a few psi then you have a shitty setup.

Where are you coming up with stuff? Did someone actually tell you this?

100% wrong on both points.

i was thinking the same thing, everytime i'm in uber, it doesn't have settings for every gear.

lol

where's hotrex to bach this no0b

Dont be an asshat either guy. I dont see you trying to help him ::)

considering i have all three versions (1.66, 1.78, and 1.8) and i've never seen anything about specific fuel settings or boost settings in each gear. how long would it take to tune it if it was like that?

i'm helping this guy by making sure he doesn't listen to what you're telling him to do :P

hey thanks for all this help that you guys are givin ;D again i have a 4spd manual tranny dohc zc with t-25 turbo and turbo edit. so i dont think my setup is shitty it's just that i have a 4-speed so all the boost counts(i have an si trannythat i want to swap but im unable to) and now that ive been drive'n the car more.... sometimes it boost in first, but most the time it wont (bout a 6:1 ratio) so that is why im somewhat concerned. thanks again

i have never heard of that problem before...i hit a easi 15+ psi on first gear, without hitting redline, or revlimiter.

Read what I said, if you have to worry about a little boost spike for a short period then your setup is ----.
