5speed launch control fp red...
Not bad and I love the exhaust note, I also love the color. They didn’t have any Blue MR Premiums left when I got mine (last of the 08s) although I think that was a Canada only offer with the Blue in an MR…
Only thing is, and I understand the road was wet, but to me it looks like this turbo doesn’t fully kick in until the upper RPMs. And if I would have to guess I would say it would be around 4500RPM until it’s fully kicked in. I couldn’t stand having a turbo kick in that late, I need something that kicks in the 3,000rpm range unless it’s a full on 1320' machine (1/4mile).

oH O.K... yes it was damp
Hi mate thanks for the comment, you must be refering to the vid taken from outside without launch? I didnt actually go WOT straight away hence it does look laggy from the vid. However I can tell you on road there is no lag felt at all! the spool is low down and viscious... a magazine done an article and they commented how the spool was close if not same as stock. They said it feels strong from as little as 2,800 which is what I feel on the road. Dont be put off the red due to lag, because when setup right it does not feel laggy at all
They had my car against a full gt3076 tuned evo ix and that felt very laggy in comparison:
