MA91CK billet turbos and weathered engines dont mix Donating Members 1,346 Member For: 11y 11m 7d Gender: Male Location: Wollongong Posted 14/04/13 10:38 PM Share Posted 14/04/13 10:38 PM (edited) The more I read on here, the more I seem to think im being too soft on my car. Even when I talk to mates they say the same thing to me, "stop being a girl and go to redline". I hate pushing mine past 5500, I think I have gone to 6k once, in first cause it broke loose. Who else thinks like this? Im just scared im gunna blow the thing up haha Edited 14/04/13 10:40 PM by MA91CK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impellor Member 835 Member For: 13y 9m 8d Gender: Not Telling Posted 14/04/13 10:44 PM Share Posted 14/04/13 10:44 PM (edited) Personally I don't see the point, as most cars (lightly modded) aren't making anymore power over 5500. And besides it reduces the possibility of oil pump failure (if not bouncing off the limiter). However in my particular car I have the soft cut set to 6350rpm and hard cut at 6400.

I have a mild tune, but still makes 750nm of torque, at about 2950. not everyone can have 10 sec F6 to thrash mate I think I might ask for a soft cut when it gets the retune aswell impellor, just incase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
