Hey everyone, I am new to the car scene as well as this is my first car with a turbo. My question is, how can I maximize the performance in my Si? Iv'e noticed that when I am on 2nd or 3rd gear, if I get to about 3k RPM right before the boost kicks in and I floor it by stepping down on the gas the full way, my wheels will begin to spin and I'll lose traction and wont start out as fast compared to when I creep up to 3k RPM and then slowly pump the pedal in, I feel the torque more and I do feel like my car picks up faster. Iv'e just been under the impression that stepping on the gas the full way and flooring it, is how you maximize the speed, but when I do that I lose traction. Whats the proper way of doing it? Also, what RPMs are ideal to shift for maximum torque? I know on our dash we have a setting where there is green, yellow and red light and the green light means to shift, is that the ideal shift point?
I have a 2018 Si 10th gen, bone stock with stock all season wheels.
