Tracking the Turbo

I have only seen a maximum one of one turbo before at most of the local events here is So Cal. How mnay of you guys are doing TT's or DE's with POC, NASA or TCRA? I saw one silver TT this weekend at Fontana with POC running Hoosiers that was fast, at least 155mph in turn 1-2 area. Just curious how many people with PSS9's have tracked the car to see how good they work. I need to upgrade the suspension and have seen the Moton's, PSS9's and Cross set-ups all for about the same price..

I do a lot at Willow and Willow Springs - some stuff in the Bay area.

In fact, track day on Wed at Willow with OTR (Open Track Racing). If you come, I'll show you what the PSS9's feel like

I have been on the track once with the turbo (countless times with other cars) and I have the PSS-9's. I have them set on 1 all around and they are OK. Not great, but OK. If I was going to track it more, I would go for a more race oriented suspension.
I will be out again on June 18 on a much larger and faster track so it will be interesting to see how they perform under those circumstances.

I just got back from Gingerman with my E55 and there were two tt's there, one driven by the top instructor who gave me a ride. My tongue is now hanging out of my mouth as I wait for my car!

Mine will be tracked often if it ever gets here!

I have a set of the FVD PSS9s (revalved etc....) for sale. Only had 800miles on 'em...

I track mine often. It's totally stock suspension and street tires still.

I don't know your skill level, but until one masters street and stock setups, I wouldn't recommend going to track setups that will only cover up your mistakes.

Ultimately, you'll be a better driver for it. I'm just now getting to the point of getting some Sport Cups and new wheels. I'm also probably going to do the X74.
