    ive been driving a tuned ETK I series and have noticed it behaves funny on different game loads. sometimes it can handle the full 28.5 psi of boost with a stage 2 block and other times it cant handle a turbo at all. i have no idea why this is happening but i noticed it in beammp first then in the normal game even after a cache deep clean
    i dont think its a mod issue because once again it persists in the normal game

    may have found something related since my heap just corrupted a bit ago so im gonna verifiy files a few times and then try to manually clean the cache

    Do you experience this issue in Safe Mode? (Launcher -> Support tools)

    it still does it in safe mode but its more consistent now but still behaves different on utah and italy. no idea why thats a thing (air density physics?) it also makes more than 600 hp at the high level of boost so im wondering if my game install is just funny
    --- Post updated ---
    even stranger still is that a 1000 hp etk i i have isnt blowing up so maybe its up to the 30 psi its getting when the engine loads up?

    would a youtube video work since i dont know if theres a file size limit here? also it is 2 different configs at the moment but both have the same settings other than gearing

    Gearing can make a HUGE difference, use the same config

    i dont think 3.41 compared to 3.42 would make that big of a difference but what do i know. not much since ive not messed about with it much

    Oh if it's so small then probably there's no difference

    obviously there is since thats the only difference between the stage 2 block being able to handle the 28.5 psi or blowing
