[QUOTE="adian, post: 3869501, member: 690"] A peculiar but interesting question: "Continental feel" Yes, there are different types of 'feels' in the Ride & Handling engineer's handbook. Conti feel is typically 'taughter', where the car feel quite connected to the road, and is confidence-inspiring, and not very wallowy. However, Continental feel has been criticised in certain countries like America where they prefer a plush feel. Bump control is very very good, with good isolation from the cabin. The word for Conti feel is: supple And having said that, there's the 'US feel', which is, well, soft and plush and wallowy!! There's Japanese-feel. Japanese are softer in their damping, but somehow go a bit tighter in the rebound damping. It's a bit more comfortable on motorway cruising, softer on secondary ride (undulations). But again, a bit harder on primary ride (bumps and ruts). Jap feel is also more towards understeer, car is not as tight. In comparison, we like to say Jap feel is "unresolved". As for the Teins giving Conti feel?? I dunno dude, that's all up to your own tuning of the springs and dampers! To me my HAs/Superstreet are simply: stiff! But they don't crash on the road, so still tolerable lah. Compared to other stuff I'd tried like HKS Hiper-D or Cusco!! The best street dampers in the world are still Bilsteins. Followed by Konis. Their damping is absolutely superb! If you ever get a ride in a car with PSS9s fitted, you'll understand the term 'Brilliance'!!! [/QUOTE]

Boost drop problem
Boost goes up nicely to 0.5 bar at 3000rpm but then starts to drop to 0.3 bar starting 3000rpm until 4500rpm. After that it fluctuates about between 0.4 and 0.3 bar until 6000rpm. Any idea why? Boost leak?
