Hey guys I just bought a ralliart 2014 with 50.000km. I notice theres like a second or so delay before the car push hard on acceleration. Its not huge but i was wondering if its normal?

Thanks

First time in a turbo car? Once boost kicks in is when the magic really happens

Another thing to realize about these cars is the way the throttle is setup. It's not old school so you need to MASH your foot against the floor to get it fully floored / fully into boost.

Like put your foot flat against the whole pedal and push it all to the floor.

Welcome to the forum!


1. Get a tune - makes all the difference in the world.


2. Post Ralliart questions in the forum Ralliart Section for better response (but not throttle response. that requires a tune... )
