Hank, it should not be possible to be hit-and-miss. If it went all the way to the rev limiter, then you likely were moving slightly. Any movement whatsoever, and it doesn't activate...[/QUOTE]


Gotcha. Ill make sure next time I try. Thanx.

First time I tried mine I kind of incorrectly slipped my clutch. i think I would call it over slip. Had that nice burny smell for 2 days under the hood. I am a little parnoid to do it again, but practice does make perfect. On the other hand, this will certainly kick *** for autox starts, I normally just bog it off the line.....what a joke my launching skills are!

You lose about a half second bogging a launch in auto-x. It took me several autocrosses to convince another local Evo driver to actually launch. He was scared to do it because of his stock clutch, but I regularly beat him badly despite his coilovers and my stock suspension, plus he had more power. Yes, driving plays a part, but it wasn't really close. He finally decided to give it a shot and immediately started finishing top 3 every time and even started to beat my raw times occasionally. It makes a huge difference...

Yeah, I took the back dirt roads outta there, just to be safe - gotta preserve my perfect record... That was hilarious that sheriff was trying to "hide" behind that trailer thing, with the front 2ft. of his car sticking out

Kind of off topic, but nice to meet a bunch of you all today. Definitely tons of IXs in the area now too

I never had this (03, as you know...), and it's working for me

Yes, for those who have the switch (05/06), it must remain connected in order to work. The flipside to this is that we can deactivate it whenever we want if we have trouble with the limiter...

No, I'm not sure. I don't really watch it, and I don't like to just sit there with it bouncing off the limiter, but the first time I looked, I only saw it just above 10psi...

Do you have the stock cat installed when you did that vid? I would imagine if it is de-catted or with a straight pipe you would be shooting flames, yes?

Stock cat, haha. Nah, I'm catless. Maybe you'd see flames at night, but they aren't noticable during the day. Remember that it's not an anti-lag system, so it doesn't use fuel to keep the turbo spooled. I don't exactly know how anti-lag uses, but this is just like the stock 5k limiter bumped up to 6k...
