It increased throttle response, smoothly revving across the whole rev range and makes for a far enjoyable car to drive. If your car is around the 8 year old mark, you should DEFINATELY do this if you want better performance from your car and offcoarse, who dosen't?! Again, I can't emphasize how effective this is, a must do! THE TPS IS OVERLOOKED OR SHOULD I SAY NOT UNDERSTOOD BUT THE TPS HOLDS GREAT BENEFITS WHEN CALIBRATED. This can be performed by yourself, without help, no problem. This is being done on a d16y4.

Once the turbo is installed in a car, the original power output of the car will increase dramatically. So how does a turbo benefit you when drifting? Well, you can have a faster entry and you'll have a much easier time drifting. When you drift and suddenly the car understeer a bit, then you can cure the understeer with a dab of throttle and a quick steer. Normally Aspirated car which is NA for short is the norm when you first start off getting into drifting. Not unl...
