How To Use Surbo

"Accelerate, hold, accelerate"

1.accelerate (to approach 3000 rpm; engine pulls the car, and air is pulled straight through the Surbo)
2. hold the accelerator for 1 sec (while rpm still rises, the car body pushes the engine in return, and the back air pressure from the decelerating engine causes the air entering the Surbo to take cover under the lower-pressure cross pins in the Surbo, and the Surbo immediately produces cross jets and so a pressurizing vortex)
3. accelerate gradually to around half throttle (and the air entering the Surbo still has to avoid the air pressure straight ahead, and continues to go through the lower-pressure cross pins in the Surbo, so maintaining the vortex and pressure).
4 (optional). to further increase the air pressure, press and release the accelerator very slightly {within a few mm} around a chosen point. This motion repeats the first 3 steps to further increase the back pressure, air spinning speed and resultant air pressure.

Whenever you activate the Surbo, it spins the air faster and the air pressure goes up, so the increased mass flow tries to shut the throttle, and you will feel the spring tension and vibrations on the accelerator, telling you that you got the action right.

If your car is CVT or fully automatic and D is selected, release pressure on the accelerator to change gear up (gear 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4). To change down, press the accelerator in slightly and the rpm will rise, indicating a lower gear. Even with only D selected, the Surbo's extra air will enable the CVT car to rev slightly higher than normal, and automatics to around 5000 rpm, both cases depending on the gearbox program.

If you car is manual, you can choose to rev as high as the rev limit or change up before that, by doing steps 1 to 3 once per gear. If your gearchange is fast enough (in 1 sec), doing it just once in the initial gear may be enough for a mild air pressure.

Revving slightly higher enables your car to leave the acceleration phase sooner and get to cruising gear in a shorter time, so saving fuel. Maximum revs are possible on a Surbo-equipped car with just half throttle.
