I have always been following up on youtube/good/nico about some of the turbo coupes out there.
i have yet to see any good videos/runs/or times. Only videos I saw were addidas2go and they were the most awkward videos. There were no videos starting from 0mph or giving it full throttle. There was even a video where it was in "D" but the gears were moving as if it were in "the fake manual mode." Also it looked like the turbo didnt do much because it wasent much different from my 3.5 cvt.
I think it was Mr.Coupe that did a manual swap and I havent seen any videos (maybe i missed it?)
Maybe some of you can clear it up and show me some good videos and numbers. I have seen all the pictures with turbos, but nothing more.

There are a few video of me and Ranga14 doing a few comparison runs of my n/a 3.5 CVT vs. his 3.5 CVT turbo coupe running 5-6 psi. There's a SIGNIFICANT difference in speed.
Re: cvt/manual "turbo"
i was hoping to see a significant difference in acceleration to justify the money put in

I love you. Thats all i wanted to see.UltimaCoop wrote:http://youtu.be/MdYydtR0fr4
Is it from the turbo that the rpm really pushes at one point then goes back down to 6? seems like the turbo just wants to blow up the car.
How long has the car been running boosted? any problems?-

Re: cvt/manual "turbo"
ive done about 40k on the turbo no problems, it did that cause i didn't step on the peddle till it clicked realized later on
Re: cvt/manual "turbo"
can you do a 0-60 run? really interested in comparing. I have ran the best about 6.05 seconds....looking at the way your coupe accelerates....im really curious how fast it is off the line.
