Modified my torque control today.
Well, just as the title says, I turned up my torque control today. I did it with the oil filter on since last time when I pulled the full load thing out I put in allen head screws rather than the regular bolts. My results thus far are astounding! There is a slight increase in black smoke off idle until the turbo starts building boost, but nothing too bad. (Read my sig) I don't know if it is just me, but the turbo seems to spool up a lot quicker and it deffinately has more power. Before I used to not get any wheel squeal on the my road (concrete) and only on the main roads (asphalt) Even If I power brake from a stop to try to get a "one wheel squeal", I would get nothing on concrete. Well that was my first test once I finished everything up and by god she roasted them. Well one of them but still. I only gave it about 3/8 of a turn CW. Everyone said go in 1/8 or 1/4 increments, so I just went in the middle. I also turned the coarse idle screw back about an 1/8 of a turn. There are no idle problems. It returns fine and stays at about 7-800 where it was before. My EGTs also went up a good bit. I just drove it around town so I'll have to get a good highway cruise number. I will update as I drive it more.
I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for more PAW-AH!
