Default how does it feel when the tbb is blown?

is there just a sudden power loss and the car feels like crap or what? and do the tbb tears occur at any rpm/speed or is it concentrated at high rpm/speeds?

thanks.<p>_rl://nogaros4.tip.sport.premium.bose.6cd

Default Sudden power loss. It felt like the gas was getting cut off and I heard a loud hiss. At lower

rpm you really couldn't tell any dirrerence. 4000 + rpm under load then you will notice big time.<p>APR ECMS

Default I didn't feel it as much as hear it. Very loud hiss. Slight power loss.

I heard it, knew what it was immediately, so I let off the gas and switched the APR chip back to stock mode. I'm sure if i had kept on the gas, I would've felt the difference.

I attribute most of the loss of power I felt with the fact that I had it back in stock mode within five or six seconds of hearing it blow.<p>--
