I got rid of my scan guage when I went to my innovate gauges setup. No need to watch Iat 1 or 2 because they both display at the same temp in a turbo car. Detination due to heat is less likely in the turbo setup.

Just stating my two experiences with the SC and now the turbo.

I mean I guess the UGR Lambos guys don't know how to drive I mean for me personally it's nice starting in 3rd so I don't spin the entire time haha

But anyways, like I said the TVS is fun but he's wanting big numbers. To each their own I suppose. Honestly if I had the time, I'd love picking up an IRL and TVS and getting a cam and building the motor and getting the full potential out of the TVS. It's sad but true, most that buy the TVS don't try and get the full potential. I was one of them, had it on my 06 SS, with cooling mods, fuel mods, meth and all that Jazz. Should have built the motor and done it right, but I gave up

you should have stayed on the blower a while longer so you could give accurate information

It's apples and oranges, not saying either is the "right way" but it's a hobby none the less. I will agree with you tho, that most guys we will talk to on a daily basis choose to roll race because they can't launch..

But seriously I'm glad everyone kept me sane when I threw a rod and almost jumped off the deep end and went bone stock. Now I'm jumping off the other deep end and going for bigger numbers JUST ACCEPT ME
