Lay off it.

Yep, I got a Tial 38mm gate sittin here ready to be bolted on....looking forward to some solid boost in combination with MoTeC boost control, and the latest model MAC 3-port boost solenoid.

Also looking forward to an angry sound on boost, with my cams and headers in combination with a screamer pipe

I have a Gizmo in my RS and love it

Always find myself either using the lowest setting or the highest and not really the ones inbetween though

I've been impressed with Tenagah myself, the quality of the work is great but the main thing for me over other workshops is communication, they always keep me informed on whats happening with my car and the best course of action to take and nothing is ever too much hassle

Yah agree with that for sure...deifnitely good at communication.

As to my speed increasing if you have more boost at a given rev then u wont need as many revs to produce the power needed to make the car go 100kph. Would a 6L v8 with the same gearbox and diff as a 4cyl car need the same revs to do 100? Of course it wouldnt because it produces more power for each rev. Proof is in the pudding, I do 105kph at 3000rpm now and I used to do 100kph at 3000rpm.

Actually, it would. A car with the exact same ratios, tyre diameter, etc, will use the exact same RPM to do a given speed. Adding any power to a vehicle does NOT change this, because its physics. Modifying your engine doesnt change the physics of the drivetrain.

As for "more power per rev", it just means it'll get there quicker.

Well I don't think thats right because my cars doing 105 at 3000rpm steady as a rock and it used to only do 100 at 3000 steady on the freeway.

Your speedo is wrong then.

i've experienced this inexplicably too -

when i got my vf22 i dropped about 300rpm to cruise at 100kph over the td04.

and when i mentioned this fact, i also got a bunch of 'its not possible' type replys
