I have tried to change the rules for turbo cars in production in the past to no avail. While I am all for allowing forced induction in production so the rules do not limit new cars being built and brought into production, we can not allow forced induction in production without some sort of way of keeping boost levels in check.
Doing away with the rule, as has been proposed, without a rule to keep boost levels in check is wrong and has been proven in past years to be unfair advantage with a turbocharged car in a production class.
My suggestion was to keep boost levels within specified range, as close to stock boost level as possible and to be checked with a peak and hold boost gauge under the hood that was sealed by a official and subject to regular and random inspections.
It is way too easy to get a lot of boost out of todays production engines with minor software changes. Voting out this rule with out any clear limits to boost pressures will allow someone to unfairly have a advantage over all others in their class and would be against the spirit of the production class. We need a clear and defined boost pressure limit rule with the checks and balances set in place before this rule can be changed.
Please let me be clear again, I am not against forced induction in production, just need some way to control it so all is fair.
Just my $.02
