Hey after my t2 gave up the go so I had fitted a gt1752.
At first i thought it was a bit slow conpared to the t2 but
Now after turning up the boost through a bleed valve
My car is struggling to stay in a straight line
I'm only running 9/10 psi hard to tell as car bounces
But defo no more than that. My car runs 13s but I just can't seem to keep it in a straight line
I hear of people running at 18 psi and I couldn't imagine it!
The other problem I have is after giving it some and letting my car rev down
It dies! Thx

The dieing will be fuelling/ignition/carb setup. A bit of tweaking should resolve it.

Torque steer will always be there is 7x13 wheels. 6x13 will improve things massively. Other than that you need to check the front geometry. unequal caster won't help.

The other thing is bouncing can be controlled with decent dampers, or dampers set slightly softer.

I went from 13x7 to 13x6 on my old clubby with the same tires it was much better

What are the condition of the bottom arm bushes.and tie bar bushes the tiebar bushes help me alot
Mine is on 10x6s now and was running alot more than 18psi and dont have any torque steer issues un until it spins a wheel at least

Yes i moved to the darkside *happy*

What's the difference in spool time between the T2 & GT17?
