Spooling of my 18g.
Clear road & bored on early sunday am. So thought i would see what happened, as i've not "really" checked the spooling time with the Defis.
6th Gear:
2650 RPM hit 1 bar of boost.
2900 RPM hit full 1.63 bar boost.
5th Gear:
2800 RPM hit 1 bar of boost.
3000 RPM hit full 1.63 bar boost.
4th Gear:
2950 RPM hit 1 bar of boost.
3200 RPM hit full 1.63 bar boost.
Spools a lot quicker than i've read. It did feel like it spooled quicker than expected, when i left AF with a smile.
Almost impossible to accurately check in 2nd/3rd gear, would need a passenger.
Any comments? Comparitive tests?

Daz, sound very good, but try it in 4th as that's the usual benchmark (will be higher rpm). IMHO 1 bar at/under 3k in 4th is good..
Lol, this is where a defi rev gauge would be ideal as you could just hit record and watch back later when it's safe..
