Boosting In 5th

[joka1]

damn i wrecked my 93 turbo probe gt at 70,000. i loved that car!! but anyway i boosted both in 5th. no problems with the probe, no problems with the protege! (before the smartass coments come from the zoom,zoom boom in my avatar i was boosting 22-26 psi for a few months and 15 psi for 2 yrs b4 that on a stock motor )

Well I have never gone WOT in 5th, but I would imagine that I'm pretty close sometimes when making a move on the highway. If I'm crusing at 80 that would put my RPM over 3 grand, so i'm not going to down shift into 4th at 80+ just to pass someone. Never had any problems at all, and I basicly only have a catless exhaust.

OMG, never gone WOT in 5th? Even for a moment? That seems really bizarre to me. No offense, just bizarre.

not really needed at all. At 50% throttle in 5th gear will have enough load to go full boost. There will be nearly no difference when going WOT from 50% throttle...not much.

I hit full boost after like 30% throttle in 5th...
