I was chatting to another member of this forum once who said he was driving across Europe in his GTR with N1s being followed by a friend with 2530s.

The N1 driver stayed in top gear and just used the throttle to accelerate when required.

The 2530 driver kept having to change down just to keep up. I'd imagine that'd get very tedious after a while.

That's why I care about boost threshold. And it's also why I'm not alone.
