5th gear highway in EVO X = Not Fun
Sorry I was going to write something more but I already asked the question in another post but didn't really get the answer I was hoping for which is fine. But, since that post isn't dead I figured be respectful and not make two for the same issue...btw....I don't know how to edit the title lol
Correct, yeah idk if i'm just not used to forced induction yet, but I feel like I can't do small changes in speed without spooling the turbo which can be frustrating, like for example trying to go from 75 to say 80 is intense. lol I feel like I have to down shift into 4th, push the gas then go back up into 5th.
That is completely normal, it is just the stock turbo being extremely responsive. Low speeds in 5th gear will spool the turbo much sooner than it will leaving from a red light in 1st gear for example. You have higher loads in the higher gears. The only way to get rid of that would be going with a larger less responsive turbo. But that would make the lower gears less enjoyable on the street.
As long as you do not go wide open throttle in 5th at low speeds the only thing you are hurting is the MPG.
