I thought the ESC setup got pretty unhappy if you go WOT below 3k? I have not been up on its development for a while though. From what I understand it is activated by a mechanical switch pushing the pedal all the way down, and full boost that down low can be upsetting to the cars computer. Maybe I just need to better educate myself.

After seeing yours I may have to give it a second look, I think that would be the sweet spot of power I am looking for, not really interested in a full out turbo build, but would love the extra torque.

It turned out fine, so I am happy, but he was definitely being a stereotypical BMW driver ha.
