Will be increasing boost, don't think stock 8 will be able to hold. 8MR bov was the other option but it's pretty similarly priced, so the TS should be good choice for me. Dual Port for options, but emo doesn't like atmo usually anyway iirc.

no car likes atmospheric BOV it's part of the reason cars don't have them from factory lol

I wouldn't recommend it...

When tuning you push the car hard to find its maximum, then you take out a little bit as a safety margin to accomodate for hot days, slightly different fuel, etc... If you tune on a crazy hot day then the maximum is going to be lower, and then you're never going to be sure just how much of a margin to take out... My last tune with Trent was fuarken hot, think it was a 40c day. His ventilation is pretty good, but it was sucking in the air from above his factory through the roof which was still pretty damn warm so the car was getting really hot and pinging off its tits.

If you can reschedule, I would... but who knows their schedule and when they can fit you in next.

Cheers man, sort of in line with my train of thought too. It isn't booked in firmly yet, so I think i'll leave it for the following week pending temp drop.

not sure about that, mine get faster laps when venting atm rather than reciric

you can feel the diffrenernce on lift off the revs drop much faster handy when braking.

That doesn't mean your car likes it, that just means you like what it does

the worst the car gets out of it is a little rich for a second.

and a few flames.

nothing I would classify as overly bad.

I run recirc on the street and vent on the track, it's tuned venting and seems to work.

Maybe on the track. I always found the surge annoying when you slowly decel.

yes well as said even just for convenience factor I ran it recirc on the street.

as when you lift off it does lose everything instantly, good for when I'm hitting brakes.

Yeah very dry and sunny. Then the thunderstorms and cyclones come through.

Had to shut last week because of cyclone. Lost power for a couple hours.
