So should i drive it fast from the beginning so that the vehicle is used to that? If so will it be a lot less economical? Im confused!!
I would just drive it the way you normally drive. Driving fast in the beginning will only give you lag on low RPM. Just drive it and enjoy!
i definetly have a lag from stop between 1500-2000 rpm. would like to think this may make a difference. it seems like the turbo kicks in just after 2000 rpm.
All turbocharged cars exhibit lag to some degree due to the rotational inertia of the compressor and turbine and the fact that even if the turbo does get up to speed, there's a finite delay before that translates to higher pressure in the inlet manifold and improved volumetric efficiency.
As for resetting the ECU, touching the battery leads together (with one of them disconnected from the battery of course) is not recommended as that then presents a short circuit across capacitors in various control units which can damage them. If you still think this is going to transform your life, do it through a 100 ohm resistor.
But then, when did technical ignorance ever stop someone posting drivel such as this on an Internet forum?
