The guy kept messing with me in traffic and followed me to a nice empty road where. At 30mph he three honked it and went on 2 :thumbdown: I was brake boosting and immediately caught him then proceeded to put 5-6 more lengths on him. I looked in the rear view mirror and he turned off abruptly.. I wonder why :iono: :biggrin:

The 05+'s dyno about 215 on average(They are underrated).... and they're also about 2-300lbs lighter.

It gets you in boost rather than starting from vac. It works with any size turbo lol..

Ive tried that today and against my brother it does make a small difference I felt the power right away instead of 2000 rpms every spool counts

When you brake boost, you hold the brake and the accelerator at the same time, this brings the revs up and spools the turbo while going the same speed. It's VERY useful in a roll race :thumbsup:
