Cheat Codes on MS3 for Maximum Boost?

but why would you want full boost in 1 and 2 anyways? You guys have 20psi slicks on and going to the track or something? Ive always argued that I would rather do my own power modulation via gas pedal during 1 and 2 to keep traction, but this seems like alot of work to undo a system that probably helps 95% of the ms3 drivers to get decent track times in the first place..

The system is in place to curb torque steer as to the best of my understanding. I tried to look for a couple of minutes to find the file I'd read that best told what was happening but I'm at work and couldn't find it.

The boost is limited to a variable based on steering angle. First gear with the wheel perfectly forward you can achieve a maximum of something like 9psi (whereas boost can drop as low as something around 35% if you're in the midst of a turn), second max is around 12psi, and then third is 15.6 regardless. The numbers are guesses just trying to recall what I'd read in the past... but I don't know if it's a system in place to prevent wheel spin as much as it is to prevent torque steer.

I think what many people's mentality is that they'd rather modulate the throttle under full boost and risk some spin then know that even if they do everything perfect they're still going to be limited in what they can achieve.

I'm not weighing in either way.. just what I think the system is there for and I could see both sides of the arguement being valid.
 
Agreed. I don't go WOT in 1st and 2nd usually. I find that about 80-90% is the good balance between wheelspin and acceleration.
 
The steering angle control is part of the DSC function that is disabled using this technique. In terms of the boost limit in 1st and 2nd, I'd prefer to have all the power and use my foot to control the power, not the ecu.

as a matter of fact.....yes ! did you read my sig ???
my 26 x 9.5 x 16 hoosier QTP's will be ready for the strip very soon !

drag racing FTW !!!
 
the start up with dsc pushed just deactivates dsc and traction controll no added boost in 1/2 not confirmed with boost guadge but by lack of time or trap change in 1/4 mile infoct one of my best times was somehow done with all on it was a 13.9 @101 corected it was mid 13 @ 102.5 and the hold for 10 sec is so they (mazda) had controll of car when they did press @ the track days.
 
ill try and data log it this morning when i get off work. w dash hawk well see how the weather holds up.
 
my car dosnt have a b button where are you finding the b button ahhhh pulling my hair out........


lol
 
ok so i did it today i dataloged i run from stop up to the middle of 3rd gear, both with doing the start and hold and just turning it off regurly. in both ocasions i got about 7psi in first then 14psi in second then i got up to 16-17 psi in third.

Upgrade you iintercooler 15psi in 1st 17 in 2nd :D

Hey, thanks for busting this myth!
