[s-cars] K27//k26/6 Turbo

[steve powers]

Having just changed to this turbo, I offer the following observations.

    - the boost gradually begins at 3K but hits hard at about 3500
    - 3500 to redline is a blur
    - use 1st gear to build RPM, not boost, so you can use the boost in
2nd
    - following the above will also save your 1st gear
    - throttle velocity affects how boost builds (how fast you stomp on
it)
    - I've heard (and will try) a new TPS will help this (~$40)
    - you will find your boost leaks in a hurry (plastic IC tank,
x-over)
    - use SAMCO hoses or equivalent w/ good clamps

I find that if I drive the car in the same manner that I drove my NA
4KQ,
it's very effective. Keep the RPMs near the knee of the curve as much
as possible.
