That sounds about right. I can't break my tires loose just gunning it with an auto unless I power brake, I am turning, or its wet out. These engine really start making power when the turbo is pushing lots of air. From a stop it can't make peak power without the turbo spooled. When doing a drag run thats why its so important to have a 10 or 15 psi boost built at the line before the lights drop.

if i hit it from anything under 25 it gets sideways... under 40 i hear the read end sliding around (not really squeel normally just a SSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH) and from a dead stop with no boost i literally just sit there and spin the tires for a good 5-10 seconds

Yeah I hear ya. I'm deciding If I should just get the tunes and then the turbo or the turbo/17 first. I prefer to be proactive but it's just to tempting. lol

The real sad thing is I can afford both of them right now. But I'm a major tightas. I guess it's the farmer way.
