Just like Max Boost.
The Maximum Turbo is 20.

Just download the newest version and uninstall the old version.

I can say that the Turbo is great.
I try an other setting next race. This will be over 2 weeks.
Than I try with a bit lower boost.
I have enough infield power and I hope to get some more power corner out and ad the beginning of the straight.
I have so much power that it keeps accelerating . The straight is to short to reach the top speed.
So I hope with a lower Boost that I will come closer to my top speed and that I will accelerate the first part of the straight more.
I over take the SPX drivers on the straight. It's just great to see there faces when I do a warm up lap before the finals.
Than they ask me were I get that power from and if i'm not geared to heavy.
When I say that I'm geared on 6.3FDR, than they look strange.
The lightest geared SPX driver drives with a 5,7FDR.
All the others are 5,2FDR and the TC drivers are on 4,7FDR.
Tekin is fast so not the fastest speedo there is.
Now more and more drivers are changing there GM and SPX for a Tekin.
I let an other club member drive with my car. He was impressed with the speedo.
He sold his GM and he wanted a SPX but now he is thinking of the Tekin because of the way it drives.
Tekin is growing out here after a slow start.
More and more drivers discover the power of the Tekin speedo and motor out here.
First it was the motor, now the Tekin RS / RS Pro.

Also the service of Tekin is great.

The latest download is 198 and that is the one I have.
V199 is not public, so not sure how you got it.

Some people have taken a shot at explaining what the Turbo function feels like but not what it actually does (i.e. what do the electronics do). Is it anything like the turbo function on old speedos where it was actually a burst of maximum current (temporarily overriding the current limiting settings)? Think in terms of the GM V12xc or the LRP Quantum 3 which both had this function.

If what you said is indeed true, then the turbo function of the RS is similar indeed to that of the brushed speedos of the past (as I have mentioned above)

One question remains then. Is the turbo going to override the current limiter settings?

I have not turned my end bell like the guy with the KO has either.... I could out run them all in the field....
