Well I’m in Oz and it’s summer, so ambient temps are not the problem..

I'd love to get some intake temps that low, pops or no pops, but never gonna happen where I live. I reckon 35 degrees and minimum 60% humidity would be sapping some power out of the poor little thing...
I did mine over the weekend. In normal mode it sounds the same, super quiet still and no drone on highway. Exhaust/engine in sport plus with rev matching..car sounds like i put an aftermarket exhaust on it
The pops are caused by a kind of anti lag set up.
When the turbo is fully spooled and your on full throttle the car assumes your going for the next gear so to keep the turbo spinning and reduce the lag the car injects fuel in the normal way but regards the ignition to ignite after the exhaust valve has opened meaning the ignition happens in the exhaust pipe just before the turbo this keeping the turbo spinning and giving a very satisfactory pop and bang.

It’s probably where mine is breaking down, maybe it’s not igniting the fuel as it should??
When coming off a highway try going from 3rd to 2nd at around 75kph. I get it pops every time I do it.
Eeek that’s 43 mph , I get pops downshifting 3rd to 2nd at about 55 mph.
Will try less, sure 43 will do nothing, a little burble.
But pops enough for me ie only when going nuts up through the gears.

Whoa, third to second at 55mph?! Dude, do you know what that middle pedal is for
? (not serious question). Or are you on a race track (serious question)?
You need the fuel, so you need to accelerate in third, then downshift. A long slowdown on overrun doesn't pop for me.
Nope won’t do it, I think I’m just one of these victims of a non poppy N, just wish the car I test drove hardly popped like mine, less disappointment then, maybe deleting the resonater might do it?

I feel like mine is pretty poppy but its not consistent. I've read people say that its so artificial that its the same three pops on every shift but I don't hear that with mine.
I never get 3 pops, more like a 12 gage shotgun when I shift to 2nd, one huge bang..

Yeah found this out on the track at Snetterton, tried on the road and it just feels wrong and very harsh on the engine etc.
Yes, I can't wait to get this thing on the track next year. You really don't get an opportunity to take it anywhere near its limits on the street. Good on ya, man

It was brilliant on track far better than I ever expected. Well worth it.
Insurance was a fortune though
I've had a few of these. I had the windows down for one and didn't look so cool in front of the missus when I basically shit myself.
