Many factors come into play:

1. Too quick entry (which was my error) - I was going too fast because I had a hard time keeping my 12 psi boost level at the exit of the corner. Too much lag on my S15 T28. Actually, it's not huge, but VERY noticeable in Auto-X.

2. Bad suspension configuration - my stock configuration is KYB AGX and Ground Control. Springs are 7.5k-4.4k and my AGX were set to 3 and 5.

Basically, I was too quick at the entry. To correct all this, I lowered the boost to 7psi. Very quick response, spools up faster and allows me to brake more. I set my AGX to 3-8. More damping in back = tendency to oversteer. I also tried to brake later.

Evidently, it all went better from that point: the car STILL understeers but it's much less dramatic. And I get to oversteer from the apex on forward.

Do you guys with your setups understeer at the entry?
