if its just a stage1 cossie on a T3 i bet you could set it to 4000 and hold foot to floor for 10secs to get full boost (ie 15psi).

only way to know mate is test it, only takes seconds to adjust so u can get it right

no need for any of this shit for the street, but for competitive 1/4 mile it could be useful.

even if you have full boost and therefore potentially too much torque for grip stavros, doesn't mean that you have to release the clutch immediately. you can control the grip with the clutch release rate (won't do it a lot of good though). at least by having the rev limiter it allows you to concentrate only on that and releasing the brake so hopefully launches would be more consistent.

how does this limiter get removed once rolling though to allow the rest of the rev range to be used in first gear?

Clutch switch - so I guess that balancing it on the clutch could be a bit tricky to set up

edit : I think the clutch switch may be for full throttle changes.

I will use Autronic for Launch Control & as you say a switch on the pedal controls the full throttle changes, I actually need another switch to turn of the Nitrous aswell .

If setup right, a switch on the clutch works fine for shifting and launch.

I have based the Launch control on wheel speed so it wont turn off until the traction control takes over.

I tried the launch control on the DTA, which has launch, and traction control.

I then tried a simple switch/aux rev limit via the clutch pedal. I found it easier to use. Obviously it requires a bit more effort from the driver though over the start of the track.

The launch may work, but would take forever to setup. Any tracks are too damn busy to get the time to come over and set it up.

Maybe the DTA is harder to set up, However the Autronic is not

Being so far from a track means I dont have time, I prefer racing....and even that is nearly impossible at Santa Pod.

Maybe it is harder, but both still require track time to optimise them.....I'm managing ok with my right foot so far lol

so, back to the turbos....... is it possible to modify a GT30/ GT35 to take full ALS? or is there another make of turbo such as turbonetics etc that will take it?

Is it just the shaft that suffers or does it melt turbine wheels etc? would it be possible to retro fit a T4 marram 247 shaft to a GT30/35 series, or fit the GT wheels onto a T4 core?

Given the GT series arent re-buildable....I doubt you can do much with them ????
