No it's supposed to be red your not trying hard enough

[T5frankie]

just went out trying to adjust the boost, 21psi with mbc fully open or closed so dunno whats the problem there

Depends how you drive it... If it's glowing you've probably been giving it a bit of a work out?

Must go extremely well on that boost I know mine does

yeah pretty well mate, lots of torque steer even with m59, how much air does that turbo push?

White is the best colour, transparent you really want to worry.

and grippy tyres?

It's odd seeing the standard boost gauge going berserk isn't it lol

A friend of mine had a S1 ERST and he had the turbo on that hot enough that you could see the wheel inside rotating.. But then those turbos are't water cooled and a fast run with a boost hike was enough to get them hot

it grips but its a bit wayward when pushing hard goes from side to side, ive yet really to notice the gauge lol too busy holding on lol, wonder how your turbo compares

I think your next investment should be a decent suspension set up as it will add more to the drive and stability of the car

Not sure I have little experience of large turbo'd 5 pots, when I first had the turbo fitted Russ said it reminded him of an 850 with a big turbo to drive without the lag if that helps?

i'm pretty happy with the suspension mate, probably because its a low miler it handles very well and pretty flat, very predictable and alot more comfy than the v70r

i did notice a slight clutch slip in 5th

tbh since fitting the coil overs that's one thing they have stopped, she now keeps nice straight when wheel spinning and the general feedback wen you push it hard into and out of corners is 100% better.
