Cold Air + Boost = Loss of traction and Boost Spike...
Took the car out today trying to use up all the old gas so I can add my premix with a new tank, did some boost runs with the boost controller on with the 1st setting at 12lbs and what happpens loss of traction, I can feel the rear tires giving, almost feels like clutch is slipping but instead of letting off I stay on it then waht happens, 17.7 lbs of boost, so the car hits boost cut since I have it set to cut at 17.5 lbs, kinda sucks but in a way it is good that the boost cut works good other wise buh bye motor...lol..
Hopefully it gets warmer so I can stay on it without worrying about spiking...
My Intercooler temp was at 3 degrees c....Let me tell you though it felt good boosting over 17lbs...
Kinda sucks too since I could have had a little fun with the blue subie with big mudguards, that thing is preety fast would have liked to see what my car can do against it...Another time....
