Gear Changes & Turbo - Newbie needs help please!

[8bit]

as standard the turbo is quiet sedate and smooth, so there isnt a point at which you suddenly get a turbo boost.

Hmm, dunno about that, mine is standard and if I floor it it does seem to kick in a bit once I get to about 2200rpm, then again a bit harder at about 3500rpm. I figured the first kick was the turbo waking up and the second was the engine hitting its' natural power-band.

As for the clutch, yes I found it pretty stiff to start with but I got used to it quickly. My previous car (and first one so no laughing!) was a Fiat Punto, with a very light clutch. Having driven my LCR225 for a couple of weeks now I don't struggle with the clutch as much as I did at first.

Get it round to the red line and hold on tight!

do as the man says, no wonder it doesnt feel like you have any boost if your changing gear at 3k rpm its hardly had a chance to boost before you swap cogs.

and you will know when the turbo is on boost as you will feel a significant kick.
