How did you learn to drive with boost?

[MattAvino]

-Turn the key to start the motor.
-Push pedal on the right.

I'd say take it to the biggest most desolate parking lot you can think of and learn your (and the vehicle's limits). Before you ever try flogging the thing on any narrow hazard filled road.

Turbo m42's and 24v's put out insane power, enough to beat probably 99% of cars on the road in a straight line (and in corners too).

You seem to have forgotten the m20 ;)

Drive it like a normal car is my advice. Just don't act stupid.

Started with a NA 3G eclipse. Tracked it a few times, then slapped a 16G Evo 8 Setup on there and learned. Now i'm moving to a S50 and hopefully boosting it down the road. It's pretty important to learn the cars handling limits N/A. Throttle control is also 3000000% more important with boost.

Fixed ;) m42 turbo is insane? Lols

I have been driving with an eta my whole 11 years of driving. Friend loved my driving style and sucked at stick. Asked me to drive him in his Viper...550 NA hp is unreal and stupid fun. So a 300-350hp car in my mind is easy to drive. Just be smart! And 2 years of driving...now you want boost? There is a reason you are scared. Learn to drive, 2 years is nothing.

Lmao. The m30 is a monster, can't wait to see yours finished man! There's a man in SFL by the name of Otis with a turbo m30 e30...now that's one insane car.

2 Years is not anything, I couldn't agree more!
I have driven a viper before, and that is stupid fun for sure!

I don't think I ever put thought into learning to drive a more powerful car.

Just get in and drive the thing, you're over thinking it.

Check out MF Doom. About 450 at the wheels from a built up m42. One guy on m42club has 500+. But yes of course a bigger displacement engine would have a higher maximum output, I'm just saying that even an m42 can do okay.

I agree. my first car was boosted and it's not a big deal. You're still in control of the power you put down. I always felt that having a turbo was actually safer, because of the small amount of lag before getting all your torque.

If you can handle the car in 1st and 2nd, you will do just fine. If you afraid of doing more than 100mph, the turbo isn't the problem, it's the driver.

It's called car control. Either you have it or you don't.

[LowR3V'in]

When you press the gas and the turbo starts to spool it takes
a while, maybe 10 full seconds, depending on spool,
for the boost to come down

so if you boost in traffic remember to always calculate how much you're boosting vs how long you have to stop.
Imagine rolling off in 1st from a light after full boosting 5psi!! Turbo is still full boosting at idle!
It can be tricky, but you need to learn how to drive boosted cars.

That's why there are turbo timers or else if you do a hella sick full boost run it'll keep
boosting with the engine off and that hurts the turbo and hurt engine seals. GL!
