Most of the time it's me feathering the gas as I'm afraid I'll blow something up... Boost controller gives me 10, then it gives me 15, then it gives me 13-14... So I simply look at where it's hitting and I let off enough to keep it steady (somewhat).
But the shifts are very smooth...

When we were testing yesterday we were pegging it to redline.. with some backfiring, but it shifted smoothly instead of a big crisp jump. We'll try the other EGS to see if there's a difference in how it shifts... and of course I'll have to invest in a GOOD boost controller... the one I have gives me 9psi when closed, then one click (not one turn) gives me the 10-15 jump.

The new code is making the car go up in speed like that... night and day difference!
