Since not all of us has a laptop on track side, its very difficult to test out the difference b/w turbo vs no turbo on a single run. I have figured a way turn on and off turbo without hotwire.

Here is how I do it.

When calibrate your throttle forward with the RS, set your hi-pot to 98.

When finished calibrating, set your hi-pot back to 100 for normal operations.

Now if you want to 'turn off' turbo while you are on the driver's stand, reduce your hi-pot to 95. If everything goes well, the esc will not see 'WOT' or 100% throttle, hence will not turn on turbo.

of course, if you have a good throttle finger, you dont need to so this.

I have tried this at the bench and it works. I will test it out next time I go to the track.

Some of you may ask me why dont you want to turn on turbo?
My reason is that my friend's gtb cannot catch up with me... so to be more fair, i will turn off turbo to give him a chance.
