You lost to a bird in a 106 GTi shoping trolley. Best think you can do is sell the car and buy a Volvo

Try harder next time. Turbo won't spool up till about 2500-3000rpm. Drop it a cog and then watch her get very small very quick in your rear view mirror

Its because you drive like my Nan on a sundy. Wind that boost up drop down a gear and spin them rims. Thats what owning a turbo is all about.

Is it true that a turbo car needs 40% more power than a nat asp car to be even, quoted by Paul Bailey in an old CCC mag
