Turbo is a VF35 and mine is remapped to run about 1.5 bar (although I think they run about 1.2 bar from the factory).

turbo lag etc... best way to drive it
It is not too laggy to begin with ... but again I would recommend a few mods (uprated fuel pump, uprated panel filter a 3" exhaust) followed by a good remap and the car will be a different animal completely!

Proformance???
It will blow you away the first time you drive it, but trust me you will get used to it and want more.

Yes

Enjoy!!

Whatever you do, if the back starts to slide, don't lift off ... keep the right foot down and let the diffs do the work. If you lift off while the tail is sliding, it will kick back in the opposite direction.

this taught me a fair bit of what to do https://www.scoobynet.com/driving-dy...what-best.html it's just having the bottle to do it!

i think std boost is 1.4 bar and lag isn't too bad with the 6 speed, not great under 3k but then what turbo is?!

biggest bit of advice i can give is if it's got the OE spec brigestone REO70 tyres on, for gods sake don't, DON'T, push it too hard in damp, cold conditions. they are a brilliant dry tyre and (personally) ok in the wet, but they really need a bit of heat in to get grippy and they can REALLY catch you out.

a great all round package, i love mine
