FracTTure

This surely is a dumb question but I am still new to this turbo thing and with this high rev engine.
Was driving with a Porsche owner who swore that I was shifting way to quick. I understand the shift points for best performance is different but for just average driving 30-60 MPH what is the average RPM range and gear that everyone drives the car in?

Otherwise it is around 5 to 6000 when I am pushing "her" hard

1>2=4000 2>3=3500 3>4=3500 4>5=4000 180FwdCoupe

I drive (sedately) between 2500 &4000 in whatever gear, with bursts to 5500+ for fun.

1>2=rev limiter, 2>3=rev limiter, 3>5=speed limit. I've never used 4th gear in a VW/Audi i

1 -> 2 around 3-3,300
2 -> 3 3,500 +/- 100
3 -> 4 3,000-3,500
4 -> 5 before 3,500

If I have to accellerate onto a highway then raise those number 1,000 to 3,000!

I have a 180TTQ chip/exhaust.

You asked about regular everyday driving and that is how I drive. Nice and relaxed, not in a rush. Having fun is a totally different set of shift points!

You're nuts. But then, who needs speed limits? Autobahn=rules

for everyday drive.. I shift gears when RPM reach 3000.. pretty smooth.

On the high side of 5k every (almost) change...

Having fun, well 6k - redline !!

The chipped 225 has sooooo much torque that in everday regular driving there is no need to exceed 3-3.5k rpms.

If I were to go to 5-6k each time I would keep rear ending the cars in front!!
