Has anybody on here found when you engage 3rd gear it seems to pull better than any other gear?

I had a play with a tuned mk2 Golf GTi at the lights the other day and I got off to a bad start, but when I hit 3rd I just breezed past him. 3rd gear seems to be the sweet spot for me, what does everybody else think?

Spot on!

Yep particularly after 4000 rpm in my gti prestige

You should hear a relay "clicks" on when you accelerate hard. Thats extra boost.I've got it from 3rd and up (on hard acceleration)

 

[kaibaboy]

Yes that's exactly what happens, its strange how there is no mention from Peugeot about this 'overboost' function, but its definitely there!

You sure that's not just the cruse control override click?

The button that we are talking about are only for the speed limiter, override.So you are right there

What I was talking about is when the computer sense when you want to accelerate hard(overtaking for example) the extra boost kicks in. It will only be on for a few seconds.

Its like Turbo/boost on a new Intel/AMD CPU
