    Guys it’s RUclips having problems not my vid. Try skipping ahead to 7:00 if you get stopped, that seems to be working for people. If it continues, perhaps logout and back in. I know there was a recent app update... ugh 😑

    What you need is a second air intake with a flap valve that closes under positive pressure. So you can drive around naturally aspirated without losing the horses, and when you hit the turbo the valve shuts and delivers the boost. Or you could do an electric solenoid valve that closes when you press the button. Just some ideas. :)

    • @scottborkowski4487
      @scottborkowski4487 2 года назад +19

      was thinking the same thing. needs a way to save the 10 hp for bottom end and a throttle switch to control the turbo so it kicks in under full throttle. Was also wondering what it would be like if a guy ran twins on there, would that negate the boost drop in higher rpm
