you have to remember that we Finns are good at making phones... not
performance chips... so therefore...
Regarding the boost, as far as i know (and that ain't much) the boost
is cut at 'bout 1.15bar (~16psi), so as long as you stay under
this...
When it eventually cuts in, it opens the waste gate (are we
talking 'bout the same thing?), so you MOST CERTAINLY will notice it,
it feels just like someone just "pulled the plug", for a few seconds
the car has 'bout 120HP... well, it sorta feels like that...
cheers,
Miguelito
