Doesnt that make the torque output really non linear and add something extra the driver needs to consider depending on slip angle etc?
How does wrc do it?
What if you want to trim the attitude of the car by throttle steering?
ASurely just having linear boost vs TPS will work nicely?

WRC spins all the time. They leave it up to the driver to modulate the throttle, which is part of what they pay him for - expertise in car control.
Also look for a better tire solution. If you are still using those giant three spoke wheels with itty bitty sidewall tires, that isn't helping. Sidewall compliance is a necessary component in maintaining the contact patch in all but the absolute smoothest of surfaces. And having a heavier than necessary wheel doesn't allow the maintenance of contact as readily, either. An intermediary measure might be to soften the rear suspension a bit, but that isn't a primary solution.
Again, look for a better tire solution.

Sure, I will get exact numbers on wheel alignment but its a LOT of camber. It's really good at high speed.
The brakes will only be cleared by 17's so we cannot go down to 15s or anything.
It has 8 pots or something (HUGE). Off one of these.

Seriously though, you have an intentionally sarcastic attitude. Just drop it.
i appreciate that the brakes and wheels are bigger than they need to be.
That wont change soon, it's not my car.

Of course i have an intentionally sarcastic attitude. It's because i'm being intentionally sarcastic.
Plain and simple: This car is stupid. Gigantic brakes to slow it down from speeds that are lower than they should be because it's not hooking the way it should be because of the stupid wheel/tire setup necessary to clear said gigantic brakes and blah blah blah. It's moronic. Get mad about it all you want, it's the way it is. I know it's not your car, but think of how it reflects on you when you defend utter crap like this just because it has some of your parts on it. Unless the dude is on this forum stalking you and waiting for you to say something negative about it, then man up and admit how ******* DUMB it is.
I bet it brakes like ****. Why? Because it's clearly suffering from a huge lack of traction. Traction: Not just for acceleration anymore.
Otherwise, we're going to treat this as if it were your car as long as you keep cheerleading for it and suckling the teat.
I just want to see you post something cool. Every time i see this thread bumped, my heart jumps into my throat with excitement, and every time i get let down by something else at least as stupid as the previous subject. You'd think i'd learn. But i won't. Because i'm dumb. Really really dumb. For real.
