UPDATE: Brian was right. Use a 2-11, it's a lot of fun.

Before you say go to the Forums. Video game forums aren't friendly places. It is where all the biggest Dickheads roam and nobody wants to be slapped in the face by a dick... anyway Forza 5 Achievement whoring.

As of this moment I'm looking to get the Factory Legend achievement where I need to reach full affinity with 8 manufacturers, I have 7 out of 8 with Lotus being my last one but the progress has been slow, really slow. I'm currently using the Esprit Twin Turbo, see below.

Reasons being I like how it sounds and how it drives, well except one part the Turbo Lag. Man, is it bad. My main focus on Forza games has always been the brakes because a lot of people brake way too early on multiplayer so it helps widen the gaps but coming out of the corners, I got nothing. Lots of noise, not much go even downshifting isn't helping.

So anyone got any advice because I like the Esprit but I love Achievements.

Also, Aspiration swaps aren't available and an Engine swap puts me into S Class.

Change out your wastegate and get a new ECM map that allows a stronger boost profile at lower RPMs. Keep in mind you risk grenading your WAIT THIS IS A VIDEO GAME

2-11 in R class is just so much fun.

I'm debating on that but on places like Spa, Yas and Bath with their massive straights, I know I will be left behind.

Ok I'm putting my faith in you.

Also everyone is using 2-11s or Atoms so you might be onto something.

So you're saying video game forums are like Honda forums?

As long as your VTEC kicked in within the last 3 days, they're friendly.

Don't forget to swap your air intake and motor mount to gain .6 seconds 0-60

When applying engine upgrades, look for the ones that smooth out the power curves or the ones that move the power curves to left if at all possible. Sometimes the aspiration can change this. Also, mid corner you can give the throttle a few quick stabs to try to keep the boost up.

Ah.... I just went over the upgrades or rather upgrade and your right. All I did was just slap the biggest Turbos on and go. It's must better now , thanks.
