    Slight hesitation at low revs when shifting???

    I've searched and I didn't find anything that was the same as my experiences. I'm running Stage 1+ with an 007 (yellow spring). It is very hard to shift smoothly when just cruising around town. My concern is that the turbo is backing up and bogging the engine. If I slip the clutch a bit the car shifts fine. I just don't want to be doing damage to the turbo or wearing my clutch out around town. Any input would be appreciated. I want to figure this out before adding any more power. Thanks! -Jack

    Your DV is not on correctly..
    Best regards,

    Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone

    I'll make the change. Hadn't heard that the reverse works differently before. Thanks!

    Is your 007 tuned for high rev. if you want to cruise around town you should tune the 007 to do so.
    Try that to see how it goes.

    Suggesting I drop the green spring back in? I was loosing boost with that spring but I didn't have any shims. I do drive the car aggressively. Just trying to improve things when driving slowly...

    Is not about how fast you drive. is about high rev in engine. engine speed not car speed.

    it is very simple you made a lot of racing mods, high rev mods. so the car optimum performance is high rev, do not expect the engine perform in low rev, that was stock setting purpose.

    Well, I put the DV back in correctly and all is great. I guess it just wasn't opening up all the way when letting off from lower revs. The high end seems the same too. Thanks all!!
