you worded it badly, when you said "can you switch it on boost when you race" kind of indicate there was such a thing as running it with no boost

ok if you can switch on boost, how the hell do you switch off boost? look at it like that! switching off indicates turning off ie not working at all
anyway your dyslexic so you dont count

or you could just have worded it the propper way and said switching management profiles 
eitherway, couldnt you just have dropped it a cog or two and punted it?

I had a 'crew' of burbury clad tossers drive past me in a rusty nova with those seatbelt pad things on all staring at my car and shouting abuse at me...
Is it a jealousy thing?
