Whats everyone got for a RSTURBO and what break horse was it.

Only i have a standard rs turbo in my esc cab mk5 and i got 10.52 today.

This is just with boost controller, boost gauge checking it to be 5.5psi.

Is this good? Bad? Expected?

Please put forward all your times please.

10.52 to 60??

Sound pretty poor actually, was it wet??

Standard RST is circa 8 secs, even with the added weight of a mk5 cab I'd expect 8.5-9 secs tops?

Oh

Its only on 5psi tho, and thats with the boost controller 80% out.

What could be wrong then, cuz ive just had samco boost hoses?

As everyone knows, I am shite at launching and have done a 5.9 0-60.

At over 10 seconds, you sure you timed it correctly?

Well standard boost for an RST is 8psi IIRC

Before you start spending money on boost hoses get it set up properly, should make a difference

10.52....swop it for a 1.1 Fiesta Festival

Seriously get it set-up and it should be in the 8's at least

My 1.4 was that fast to 60, something not right there mate, even at 5psi thats well slow. Standard for a Turbo is about 9.

cabbys weigh a good 200kgs more than a normal 3 door mk5 escort, which i expect weigh more than a bean tin??

6.24 0-60 with 25psi of boost and two 12" subs and amp rack in the boot.

Hasn't Keith got the fastest 0-60mph for an ERST with about a 5.2 or something, his had 250+bhp mate!?

I did an 8.5 in my old Mk4 XR3i and that had 18's on it, was stripped to the nines tho!
