Default What did you like about YOUR first time boosting or feeling boost???

I am bored and like to see everyone else answers to this question

I had a 98 civic dx which I wasnt satisfied with...i saved money, did payments and ended up with a ls-t in my engine bay. First day, I got in it & took it down the street. I was like ooooh sheit this is fun ...i came from a dx to a ls -t. Compared to my old engine, when I hit boost it seemed like I was going into warp speed...lol.

I am not all that impressed yet. But I still have some tuning and other stuff to do.

I CAME!!!!!!!!!! ......................J/K I loved it on my Si but I felt boost sooooo much sooner than that, I had an 87 Conquest Tsi turbo back in 1992 and I had it modded, exhaust boost controller and upgraded turbo, it was NICE back then. I love boost and don't think I can be without, maybe as I mature I have to get in a 911 Turbo!

felt really nice at first. jumping from stock gsr to 280 whp was big. at first i was too scared to bring her up to redline, i would always shift at like 6K. then later on 8K was nothing. 280 whp feels normal now.

The first boosted car I drove was an Audi TT. It was alright but I didn't get on it. The second boost car I drove was a boosted Jetta. I ripped the Hell out of it but it wasn't as fun as the Camaro SS I drove a week before. I finally got to drive my friend's boosted ITR (ENDYN pistons, Eagle rods, Hondata, etc). I felt like I had just done four lines of cocaine. It was so much fun. That was a while back though.

First boosted car i drove was back when i got my license and i was working for a dealership and a used car came in that the dealership bought to sell, and my dad gave me the keys and told me to drive it, it was very fun and i have been addicted since then.

Once I got the car tuned well, I couldn't believe the difference. I will never own an NA car again.

i felt some power form the initial force, but once it fully kicked in (all 7 pounds), the car just pulled and pulled. I had a smile like no other. Then the first time my tires spun from 1st to 2nd... it was like heaven.

My first experience is when I went to check on my car when the kit was being installed. They had just finished it and it didn't have a good tune in it yet. Charles Madrid took me out for a test drive in my car (he was driving) the first time I felt boost start to kick in I couldn't believe it. I was thinking to myself "How am I going to drive this thing?"

Oh and before you get on my case about not doing the install myself I designed the kit, bought the parts, and told them how I wanted it installed. I couldn't do it myself beause I was working 2 summer jobs at the time to pay it off.

1st turbo experience being in a 275whp Si, and i can honestly say i got out of the car a tad bit dizzy or shuken up. It wasn't the acceleration from 1st to 2nd, or 2nd to 3rd becuase many cars are fast down low, but once the driver shifted into 3rd the pull still felt the same. couldn't belive it,heh

the first time i was paranoid about blowing the car up i listened to every noise....it was tough to look at the gauges, the tach, and try to look at the road. then i got used to it, wanted a boost controller and then wanted a bigger turbo

I was amazed, until I ran into a bunch of problems and blew the motor. Lost traction at the end of 4th gear though

Man my first feel for boost was awesome. Me and a firen dspent three days swapping my turbo engine into my 240. After we got done, I could onlytake her for a whip on my street (Still had to put the hood and other **** on). It was heaven. Moreso because that was my first time riding in a car with more than 150 crank HP...LOL Then like two weeks later I went to a back road and let it go. It was the most awesome feeling in the world. I honestly could never own a N/A car again. It is killing me to drive around right now in a slow *** car. Then I go to my room and see a nice turbo waiting to be installed as soon as I get the rest of the parts.
