hi David, assuming you are using a hotwire with the vegas203 firmware. if not, then go get a hotwire.
check out tekin's website for setups. Randy Pike's and Barry Baker's setup from the ko race is listed. thats a good starting point for an open track, try 7.5 fdr if the track is tighter to just get started.
you will want to fiddle with the start/end rpm with no turbo, then add turbo, its like a 2nd gear kicking in.
note the pro's tend to set the turbo delay to near zero, because they are using their trigger position to control when they get the turbo. for mere mortals and rabid racers (like me) a larger delay based on the track layout works better.
