Looking good a clean run at Autocross. I see you still have some room for improvement on line. No boost correct?

I agree with some improvements on line.
that was my second event (and the first one in the dry) with the turbo setup and big tires.
Running 6-8psi.
What are your thought for cleaning up the line? I have some ideas, but I’m curious about yours.

I knew it looked like more power than NA, your BOV is so quiet. Or it was just audio. On driving, could have used more of the track. Hard to tell but there were a couple feet here and there. Using more of track will help smooth out the turns. There is the risk of hitting cones this way, so leave this to after you set a decent lap. For second event I'm impressed with how you handled it.

I have a TrackSpeed engineering kit with the Borg Warner ERF 6258. No blow off valve. Re-circulation valve instead. Also, I used the GoPro audio from the front camera that was clipped onto the swaybar.

I think the most improvement from that course would have been from wider corner entries and bringing it in tight at the end (AKA late apexes).
I had driven the car NA for a couple seasons on 225 G Force Rivals, but this was my first dry event with 295 Hoosier A7 grip 😁.
