question about driving while in boost
a friend of mine just got his car turboed the other day and we have been driving around quite a bit. my question is while he is driving in boost should he have it floored. i mean it seems that he gets better pickup just driving at half throttle but he insists on full throttle. what do you guys think? i mean he is only running 6 psi of boost right now. i just wanted to get some input. and another thing that did kind of confused me was the fact that him boosting at half throttle and than him boosting with his damn foot to the floor is almost the same feeling, like it picks up kind of the same. just at half throttle to me seemed better. lmk
thanks
thanks

most fmu equipped cars tend to run better at partial throttle because under WOT the fmu dumps soo much fuel that the car tends to bog and run like a dog

giving partial throttle and getting the turbo to spool full boost means basically hes leaning the car out which in turn is making it faster than the too rich full throttle...
