    just bought cossie and need advice

    I have a 4x4 saph thats all done to stage 3 and although goes like stink when wound up its seems to be all or nothing! How do you get the power to a point where its there all the time, is the turbo set to come in to late or am i driving it wrong? You just dont seem to ever have enough road to enjoy the boost! Help never had cossie before

    Could it not just be laggy and your not used to it, especially if the Turbo or housing is larger due to its state of tune?

    May me misinterpreting what your saying but that was my first thought.

    its possibly just how it is, generally if its in more than a mild state of tune giving a cossy a bootfull at low revs wont achive anything you need to drive it like its a cammy engine and keep the revs up,

    of coarse it could equilly be that its not set up right, without proper details on its spec where going to be hard pushed to really help

    if you have a larger turbo fitted or a larger intercooler it coud cause lag most cossie turbos dont kick in to about 2.5K depending on the spect of turbo
