Talking Killed a TT Supra(long)

I saw him turning right ahead of me when i was at the light, but i don't think he saw me.So the light finally turned green, and i caught up to him at the following light...He was on the phone,so i threw a lil rev his way, and he imediately wanted to play.lThe light turns green and i was behind him so he sped up just enuff so that i could get next to him.When i did i heard him shift and it was on, i hit 1st in a 25 roll, got good traction, and we were dead even until i threw her into 2nd.When i did this, i immediately pulled like 1 1/2 thru 2nd, hit 3rd, and pulled about 1 more on him before we got to traffic. We pulled over and BS'd a lil bit, and he was telling me that he could only run with one turbo on because he was having issues with the other one in hot weather??I don't know ,but he turned the 2nd one on and black smoke came out crazy like when he got on it and it bogged down pretty bad.I don't know much about turbo's, but maybe someone who does can call .Said the one turbo would only push 9 lbs of boost, but two of them together he would push something like 24 lbs...It was a fun race and his car was pretty clean.

I wasn't aware you could turn turbos on and off. Hmmm......
Maybe he had two separate wastegates and was bleeding the one off all the way. Still, I dunno....
Good kill, anyways.

No idea... but you're probably pretty lucky he wasn't fully functional

if you have a boost controller and all the other electronical **** turbo cars need you can shut off a turbo.
