Does the ECU in our turbo subies know when we are in esrever gear?

Has anyone been silly enough to hit boost in reverse if at all possible - and lived to tell??

WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME OR ON OUR ROADWAYS

My EA82T certainly did not know if reverse was engaged.

You reckon torque steer is tricky to manage forwards - try it backwards. Like a forklift on acid.

Lol..., I'll try this:) hope i live to tell the tale:p

There is no signal wire going to the ECU that comes from the reverse circuit, so I'd say no.

Also.. Did the Vortex ever have enough "boost" to ever create a panic

think I can now say a definite NO to Pauls ?)

Ok so refresh my memory what did I do to make you blame me ?

Im itching now to hit boost in reverse in my 2 and a half cylinder vortex

I'm betting that would be awesome... I'm sure my old 3cyl charade would have put out more power

S#%T!!!...swifts are heaps more fun

Try driving a two stroke bike up a hill, stalling it then roll starting it backwards going back down. It will make boost in reverse in a car feel tame. Guaranteed to entertain.

The 3cyl model was available in all years.. from the early G10 model (white one) until the 97 model model (G200). I had the G100 GTti model and was a fun little screamer until I brought my first RS Turbo wagon.

Th best colour of all was Kermit Green
