Hi all,
Been driving the FiST for a few weeks now (and falling more in love with it by the day), and I have been wondering about the turbo performance on the stock engine. I did buy the car used with a turbosmart wastegate installed, so I understand that will affect turbo performance a bit, but I was wondering if anyone had a boost curve for the stock engine doing a dyno pull? I am just wondering so I can understand how the turbo behaves a bit better, as it seems to develop more / less boost at different stages in the rev range depending on how much load is on the engine? I don't know if that statement is actually correct though, as I am judging based off the sound of the wastegate blowoffs and nothing more, so it could be due to how much boost is being allowed into the engine and not how much is generated I guess.
Anyway, any insight into this would be welcome. I figured a boost curve graph would be a good starting point to try to understand it on my own, but I'm sure many of you already know the engine's behavior very well
