How did you learn to drive with boost?

Fixed ;) m42 turbo is insane? Lols

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.

You seem to have forgotten the m30 ;)

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

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.

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.

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).

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.

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

The first drive in my turbo back in 2007 yielded getting sideways accidentally around the first corner. It was awesome.

best way to learn is to just drive it, dont be an idiot, drive on roads with little to no traffic, and possibly no buildings, houses, trees, poles, etc. and honestly you dont need to be going 100mph + to learn how to drive your turbo car, do some first to second gear pulls to get use to the car and see how it feels breaking traction. most people get scared when a car breaks traction and they want to lift off the throttle fast, if you have a open diff, your car is going to snap back violently and most likely lose control into something, that is if your car is going sideways while breaking traction. you either need to stay in it, or slowly let off the throttle. and remember, always wear your seat belt :)

I have done auto-x for the past two years (which is just as long as I have had a license ;)
Judging by responses, I must just be paranoid lol.

[mitchlevy7]

maybe setup autocross style in a big parking lot so that you will hit cones instead of going in a ditch until you get used to it.

if you cant control your car, control your enviornment.

My guess is that most people start small and work up. 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). Almost no one starts on a car like that so I bet everyone who drives a car that puts down 350+ whp probably drove one with under 150 for years.

318is for 1 year
M50tu swapped 89 for 3 months
M50 turbo is next lol
My main concern is rolling at a high speed, giving it too much power and having it step out and then lose it into a ditch after weaving for a bit lol
