are u guys talking about left foot braking??? You just basically keep your foot on the gas and brake with your left foot. Rally drivers do this a lot.

 

you can also use the e brake to help just dont pull it all the way haha

 

People keep saying its bad on the brakes.....is it worse on the actual pads or rotors or both? Anybody here have experience frying their brakes doing this?

 

brake boosting gives me three more car lengths than me not doing it.. i get around 20lbs... i only do it vs vettes and cobras lol

 

It is bad for everything that is effected by heat, so yes on both accounts... and YES, I RUINED a set of brake pads, rotors, and a bunch of fluid by playing with it, it shouldbe obvious why it cooks everything. My car had 400hp and I was trying to contain it in 4 brake pads.

 

I track my car at PIR a few times a year, and this is a technique I use from turn 3 to 7 to get thru the back side of the track. Left foot braking is considered an advaced technique but in my experience it's required to keep the back end of the car planted and maintain boost pressure. It causes a lot of heat to be generated on the rotors/pads yes. I went thru a full set of pads to learn this, but after equipping proper race pads and good fluid the car handles it with no problem. Just remember that your feet have to work opposite of each other, as you apply the brake, you don't want the car to be at full throttle, modulation is key. As you clear the corner and apply more gas, also remove the same amount of brake at the same time. You'll know your doing it right when you realise there's no lag, and the car feels like a normally asperated car with throttle response. Obviously you need to keep the car above 3,500RPM on the stocker turbo.

 

can anything bad occur while brake boosting?

 

yes... that "bad" thing will be the feelings of the guy you just pulled on in a roll race.

 

if you want to see some brake boosting watch my video.

Im not going to post a direct link since you cant post street racing videos, but feel free to register and join our local forum.

yeah that is a nice demonstration of what they're asking, dapper dan

its really pretty simple after a couple of tries.. but hard to learn without a turbo car
