As long as there are places for the turbo cars to play, why complicate
matters to where it can't reasonably be enforced ? Just because I can legally
replace the ECU in my ancient Supra, why must a modern turbo car also have that
option ? I'm sure a Subie STI ECU is lightyears more advanced than my '84 ECU,
and controls sooooo much more. Fair competition, with enforceable rules. Ok,
I'm tired of building shelves for the day, my suggestion (delete button upper
right side :) is to allow turbo cars unlimited intake, exhaust, downpipe,
ignition, just like us n/a folks. ECU, blowoff valves, etc is bone stock.
Their power gains from intake, downpipe, exhaust , ignition, will be
sufficient. Giving them boost control is like giving me compression ratio and
different cams. Besides, most turbo guys get tired of the limitations on power
development and go SM or locally to one of those unlimited catch-all classes.
My
feeling is that in the average SP car, power mods develop maybe 30-40 hp.
Turbo cars shouldn't be allowed mods that exceed these amounts.
Anyway, just my thoughts.
