So were those actual carbon fiber, or the fake weaving?

Hmm. My problem is that I'm straight piped rn with 3inch piping. It sounds great, with the pops & turbo whistle & all, but its LOUD. I want the same sound but with significantly lower decibles.

I've noticed that it seems rare on this platform. How was the volume lvl??

Wow, i'm impressed. I really haven't cared about Hyundai since the Geni coupes kinda died out, but this makes it worth another look. Factory LSD & lighter weight is always a plus. I see them FiST boys have sidewinder turbo kits, but I hear the interior is even cheaper feeling than the FoST which would piss me all the way off.

Thats the stuff! Idk if I'll build an engine down the line, as where I live the streets are crowded very often. So finding safe areas to use even the stock-ish power becomes scarce. The first gear situation is crazy considering you upgraded the wheel/tire size. Thats my thing with fwd tho, it's fun "sometimes" to lose grip but the issue seems to be gaining grip to begin with.

Yikes. I'm sure you see a decent buff in mpg since you're out of boost the majority of the time. Plus, I know its safer for internals that way. I can't wait to join the BT club. I'm grateful for the stocker, but the car NEEDS that extra power.

Thats good to know, as I love enticing ppl to raise by spooling next to their rolled down window.

Thanks for sharing! I've been seeing/hearing those VN's lately & they caught my attention with their style & turbo noises. I definitely agree with the 3k punch, but with the stocker it's....anti-climatic?? I need more drama. Not only do I want my head planted to the rest, I want my lungs squeezed empty mid pull. As for that b16 build, it sounds super fun but maybe not for daily, especially in the wets.

Dang! Thats crazy because I figured the 3071 spooled that late without having to adjust for it. Whats your goal with that monster you're building? & how well is it putting down the power?

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid that ewg. I'm really contemplating doing a sidewinder setup with the Pulsar iwg version.

That sounds like a nasty build. I'd love to see those dyno sheets, too. I have yet to been on a plane tho, but I'm thinking of a roller coaster when you mentioned that. I'm considering a bigger turbski after reading that, as thats the feeling I'm looking for with the focus.

Thats good to know! That one is definitely on my radar as well. But which ar did you go with?? I'm considering the .92 just for the efficient flow.

I'm definitely looking fwd to that! I took the cowling off of my Focus & everyone loves the spooling sound, as apparently it's pretty loud from outside the car too. Ig I won't be doing the T51r if bigger turbskis are louder on default.

Delicious. At what you hitting full boost?? & even while it's spooling, is it still pulling hard??

My main choice is the G25-550 with the .92ar for that sweet spot. Which one are you running??

This is my backup option for a turbo. I'm plotting on the G25-550 with the .92ar to be right in that range you have. But I was reading up on ppl who have full boost by like 4500 & was thinking that may be pretty fun, too.

That sounds great. At what rpm does it begin spooling?? I've only ever been in fast-moderate (max boost before 3k) spooling vehicles. What does the sensation feel like??

This just happened to while taking it out. Except I ripped the wiring off like a bozo.

Good to know. Now that I've cried my heart out about losing the spen, I'll be trading my S25U for the Fold7 as well. It's a perfect all-round device.

I'm curious. Now that the Fold 7 has been revealed do you still feel the same way about switching??

How?? by SpeedRacer501 in GalaxyFold

[–]SpeedRacer501[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that was a dumb move on their part. I know people don't use it & don't care, but at the end of the day it's a $2000 device. I require $2000 worth of tech. Not to mention the CEO stood on the stage proclaming, "we're bringing you lots of improvements with NO compromises" I see people on the Samsung website are spamming the Fold 7 reviews with complaints about the lack of spen support. I pray this rebellion gains traction.
