Does anyone know if the 20v turbo operates a similar system of overboost like the 16v turbo Themas did? My 20vt seems to be not as quick as you would expect. My Thema LS turbo boost really kicks in but the Kappa needs real stick before anything happens.

Have you tried wiggling that stick thing in between the front seats? I find that sometimes helps to make the car go faster when I push it over to the front left corner!!!

Ha ha.you're funny. You mean this crude thing called a manual gearbox?

Now you're getting a bit too technical for me!

I had a Thema 8v Turbo Estate, which I thought was more responsive than my K20VT Estate.
I've learned that it just requires a more brutal input and the K will change from that polite family motor into a monster. (and upset plenty of BMW drivers!)
There's a chap called Graham L who produces a chip that will do for you something that no Thema ever could.
He can be found on - http://www.fccuk.org/forum/ubbthreads.php

Like all Lancias, they are to be enjoyed.

Hi Justin. Thanks for that. I'll take a look. You're right though, I need to learn to push the throttle! Did you get a mail from Vic by the way?

Er ... remind me..

Send me a mail and I'll explain all. Chap called Vic Lanser who knows you from way back when....
