    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!
    Serious?

                      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
                      Learn to drive first. There are a shit ton of people who "know how to drive" that don't know jack. If you can't control your car at its limits then adding power = ditch. I've been riding and racing motorcycles for 20 years so by comparison Hp/Weight my boosted e30 is boring. I'd say a years worth of auto x events should give you a pretty good start.
