of course he has a pro racing from Europa that helps him mod the car that why it is very stable.
also the mod will not void warranty which is the best thing.
If we come out this week on blow water I try and ask him to come for blow water or we can meetup on 30th if he is free

The design is to minimize the air drag = better fuel consumption.

The needle stay at the middle (or below) is perfectly normal. Nothing need to worry about.

It won't void the warranty before that specific part breaks down.
Did you find 306hp is not enough for you? I have difficulty to master the 272hp.

RC,

N55 engine only have one turbo instead of the N54 with twins.

Our turbo working range starts from 1000rpm so on, therefore its always spinning which created heat. imagine such a small turbo working on a large car (F10)

Since we can't mod it like the Japs with intercooler + tubing/Pipes. (also engine re-mapping in the case)

There's no point in HARD MODDING the engine just to cool it or get more power out of it.

Just buy another car.

but if you loss engine power because of over heat then its not a good design.
I would have more hp than better fuel consumption
