The car is now switched on from the booster/Rx pack, and a booster is no more hassle than not having one. IME (not including the HW v3) the LRP has by far the smoothest and most linear throttle and brakes, so I would be fitting a booster with an LRP if I were running 4WD with a hot motor.
Having said all that, the LRP/Nosram problems only seem to be on the hottest motors in hotter climates in TC, so I'd go with it anyway. If it does fail, LRP are aware of the problem and providing good customer service to replace the speedo, and then you can run with a booster. Vanilla LRP with a sensible motor and you will not go wrong IMHO. HTH  |
Interesting, will be going in a 2wd with a 6.5turn or higher. Dont tend to run a lot, if any turbo timing in 2wd.
Is it the BEC thats failing on the LRP?
