Best way to avoid VOD???

Or is it unavoidable?? ???

[GTBLTD]

the only way to avoid VOD (valley of death) is to have a single turbo.i had 500 rpm of vod in my legacy but you cant do anything to stop it thats the downfall of a sequential turbo system

Have a read of this thread.

I take it you have a manual. I have a tiptronic (yes not cool) but it seems they designed the twin turbo system around it. Very hard to induce vod. Straightline acceleration awesome in auto however near impossible to mimick in tiptronic. Auto seems to short shift 1st then full revs for remaining gears. I gave up on tiptronic for normal driving as I couldnt get it better than the auto. Dont get me wrong I want a manual but after hearing everyones opinions I would go single turbo car.

Anyone whos owned both auto and manual single and twin turbo will tell you a single is just betterer

....however - i definately think the auto is better for twin turbo. Much longer gears means your on the secondary for a lot longer, and because you dont need to lift off on shifts - it keeps going hard

Go single turbo or buy the sequential turbo system only way! for me i have converted to single! Its the best solution! ;D

Are you asking how to avoid VoD on a 0 - 100 run? Just ease the clutch out from redline and ignore the smell. Simple.

Oh that's the best one yet

Yeah pretty much.

VOD can mostly be avoided once you learn to drive around it. But there are the odd occasions you will get stuck in it. If you can keep the revs above 4000rpm(ish) you should be sweet.

I guess it depends on the car, my '02 GTB E-tune really doesn't have a problem with VOD - as far as getting best performance out of it, I find changing gear at 6500rpm (peak power) drops the revs to about 5000 (peak torque) and accelerates faster than winding the revs right out between shifts.

[Guest]

drive it below 4000rpm or abouve 5000rpm. simple.

This has all been covered in the thread that ReubenH referred to. ----> http://www.clubsub.org.nz/forum/index.php?topic=160.30

If you put on a decent exhaust and tune-able ECU you will be able to make the lag disappear.
