Which Arrow do u mean ?? How come the Chronometer doesnt move?.. shouldnt it count the 10 seconds ? ?? :S how do i know im in the 10 seconds of overboost?!.

 

The answers to your questions are all answered in the owners manual. If for some reason you did not get one with the car go to your dealer and order one. Then read it thoroughly cover to cover.

 

Larry is right, you can find specifics in your owners manual. You can drive with the sport button on all the time (many of us do) and you should feel the additional torque noticeably. The chronometer is turned on through your computer (go through the functions and you will find it). You have to actually go in and turn it on.

 

The sport chrono gauge has nothing to do with the system turning on.

 

:d +2

 

One reason is you can save the $ and upgrade your ECU which will make the overboost button obsolete, which it should be in this day and age.

 

dude-only problem is the ecu flash might force you to void your warranty, where the chrono wouldn't. i agree with you though, the button should be obsolete-the function should be standard in the turbo. it should also be standard in the non-turbo. you obviously buy a car like this for performance. there should be no confusion as to whether you want to run with the hot set up or not. i am just wondering how much money the absence of a sport button on a turbo would cost you on resale. the lightly used 08 that i found without the chrono was a beautiful car-it was a grey car with deviated stitching. it only had about 1000 miles, but interestingly enough, the dealer wanted almost full list for the car (2-3 months ago-different market). when i brought up the missing chrono, he was unwilling to discount. i didn't want to touch a turbo that didn't have one. i am just wondering how much a missing chrono would take off the value of a car.

 

To program the ECU doesn't make the sport button void. That all depends on how it is programed. To be honest when these cars first came out the lack of programs and the resell was a problem if you didn't have sport chrono. I can tell you that there is no resell on these cars right now and those that are buying are looking for a screaming deal. The cars without sport chrono will bring a little less but with the programs we have now you aren't really missing that much.

 

Doc and Professor, Agreed. It all depends on the intention. I'm planning to keep my wheels for a while so I decided to do an ECU upgrade and exhaust over the holidays. No doubt will do more mods as time progresses. I didn't purchase the sport chrono option because of this and with the intention that the overboost can (and should) be controlled electronically. I'm not good at pushing buttons except for my wife's . In any event, at least you can try to use the lack of a sport chrono package as bargaining chip. Best wishes with finding the right Pcar.
