Just a quick query about Overboost.

Does this sound like Overboost that i am experiencing?

Had my VRS Jabba'd last week, now if i lift off at around 2 to 3k especially in a low gear it seems to really slow down in a sort of stutter, if i keep my foot floored it is fine, i am not complaining as i am very happy with my result i just wondered if this is what other people have noticed?

Also if it is Overboost does this do any damage to anything?

Cheers

Overboost....give you a little more boost than normal....gives you the real "rush" of power feeling.

The overboost "issue" normally happens in 2 cases...

1) when accelerating through 3k...you may get a slight "dip" in power as you get overboost and then boost drops slightly to normal levels. It is only slight but depending on how much Michael has given you it can feel strange.

2) when coming off the throttle around 3k you may get a slight surge in power...again only small but again feels a bit strange.

I had mine turned down a little so I still get it for time to time but it's no where as noticeable.

If you feel it's bothering you give Jabba a call and they'll sort it FOC.

The thing is, i don't get a surge of power i get a stutter, like i have lost all power suddenly, it is hard to explain. I do get the dip when accelerating, but i like that at i get 2 boosts of power it is just the strange feeling when lifting off... i will do some experimenting tomorrow to see if i can explain this better, i have only had chance to do 100 miles since it has been done. As i said before i am very happy with the result, i just wondered if what was happening to mine was normal.

Yes...it is like a momentary loss of power....a very slight loss...like someones pulled the power plug and then immediately put it back.

I had exactly the same thing , if I came off the throttle at 3K revs it felt like someone had hit me from behind , I think you will find that a few of us have experienced the same thing ..............if you're not happy with it , phone Mike at Jabba and arrange to take it back (as I did) , he will willingly sort it out for you , as he did with mine ...

Thanks for the replies, i know Mike would alter it for me, i am not sure if i would need it altering really, i think i just need to get used to it, it does sound like you say Adrian, and certainly not like i have been hit from behind, in fact more like i have hit someone from behind I'll see how it goes now i have a couple of days off to play. I am going to have mine serviced by Jabba after watching them service one while i was there, so i can leave it until then if i need to and if i want to have it changed they can do it at the same time.

take a look at this thread:

We've been here recently.... I'm sure it's NOT overboost.

Yes i'm sure its not too. I put in My performance as i thought it may get a better response.

I'm certain its because they increase the level of throttle response (make it more sensitive). This is great when accelerating as it picks up quicker. However, the throttle is then a little oversensitive to lift-off, resulting in the jerk.

Have you spoke to Mike? That is how it feels to me, i don't mind it i just dont want it to be causing any harm.

I mailed Mike at Jabba and this was what he said, "It won

So it was overboot then?

I'd like to say more the "request within the maps"
