hey everyone, im writeing this becausei just got my first turbo car, a 88 t2, i am wondering how is the best way i should drive it. i have heard i should never speed shift a turbo but i have also heard its ok. i know all the basic stuff like no boost untill its warmed up and stuff like that.thanks Gabe

 

The best way you should drive it? Shift at 4k rpm. Don't hit your syncro's. And dont try and type of shifting you saw in F&F.

Save the engine, and the car.

 

Drive it like you stole the mothafucka... after its warmed up.

 

I agree with Infini, drive the **** out of it, when it pops, rebuild engine and repeat.

 

well im not about the wholedrive it liuke you stole it cause im almost always broke so a rebuild is like 3 or 4 months of no 7

 

so is that it for advice?

 

i drive mine hard and i baby it, there is a happy medium and to me it seems that both live just fine with each other.

i don't see the point of owning a turbo car if all you do is drive it like a geo metro, on the other hand, driving it like you are on the circuit will tend to break parts quickly and leave a hole in your wallet.

my suggestion is keep the car maintained and do all of the service work at regular intervals.

 

RAWR!

 

Dude you will....a T II will do that to you...

 

Congrats man. Like you said, dont beat on it till its warmed up, let it idle down for a couple minutes when you go to shut it down after a hard drive. And look around the web and this forum to find the best products and techniques for your maintenance. Oh, yeah, take it to the redline at least once a day, hehehe.

 

Just drive it easy. I'll drive my TII/3C like a grandma because there are those times when you just want to floor the crap out of it, so thats why I save it till those *special* moments. I'll redline it probably once a day, maybe twice but thats it, but you can still haul ***** without having to redline it

 

what turbo is that?and why should i red line it once a day? to break off carbon?

 

^to remind you why you bought it
