Default I love this blower!!

lmfao!

I went to Synergy to have Rick tweak on a couple things. While cruising around some assclown in a Lexus sport coupe thingy was on his cell and trying to cut inside a tractor trailer making a sharp right

He was being such a jerk I decided to get in his face and at ~40 nailed it, crossed the double yellow and proceeded to lose traction...the rear came out and i laid off the throttle for a bit then nailed it agan broke traction, held course and hightailed it down the road...when the Lexus caught up i was going to just go real slow and block his way (don't all trucks do that?) but we turned off.

I think Rick was still pale for a few minutes. This blower is wild, it doesn't come on all at once and then peter out, it comes on hard and then really comes on....and on. Hard to describe...but it really surprised me to say the least.

Coolness.

Can you describe the difference between the 112 and the 1900...how is it different exactly?

I will try but it is a bit subjective:

The transition from partial throttle to full boost is absolutely smoother.

With the 112 it was a somewhat violent hit to max boost, the truck would rear down and lunge forward and the force that pinned you back in the seat lessoned as you neared the top of the power band..

With the TVS it almost feels more like a larger NA engine...power is on and increases in a linear fashion, making more as it spins up. I really have very little FI experience to compare it to any other form.

Does this make any sense? Rides welcome, you buy gas

I loved the 112...dont be mistaken, the M112 is awesome and I was able to hit mid-12's safely on it alone! I see so many good deals floating around, now is a great time to snag one

I've only been in one turbo vehicle and it made awesome power but I was in the passenger seat...everything is freaky when I'm not at the controll. With my limited experience I might say it is a bit like that feeling.
