    Seeking Info on Boosted Part Sets

    Hello everyone.

    I've been noticing lots of Boosted Part sets have been up for grabs lately. Obviously, the most coveted are the boosted NC sets, but I still have a few questions I'd like to ask:

    1) What's the highest boosted affix % for a boosted NC set? Is it 9/11 or was there one that was higher in the past?

    2) Have IVT given out a boosted NC for every discipline to date or just certain ones? Which disciplines are they? I've seen MT, RX, and HC.

    3) What would be more useful on a "quickest nitro refill" set build? 9% Pure or 11% Extra Pump?

    4) Is it faster to have Ventilated or Resourceful parts rather than Extra Pump?

    5) Does IVT offer the first Boosted set part as Silver and then the remaining as a Gold award in a future Summit?



    Thank you for taking your time to read and/or reply. Knowledge is power. It also helps others who read this.

    1. 9/11 for pure+pump. They usually stick to giving aprox 110% of the usual max.
    2. they are yet to ruin SR with that crap, and some others
    3. depends on discipline and track. for most road car events extra pump is better.
    4. it depends, for stuff like MX and flying offroad hypercars ventilated is obvious choice. im not aware of any cases where resourcefull is good. with current handling model you dont really want to use brakes that much
    5. looks so. and lately they started giving full boosted sets as plat rewards, previously plat sets were normal.

    List of all boosted sets until now (End of May 2021)

    I just checked my set (and I think I have all of them except one or two which I immediately throw away since they were overly useless - please correct me if something slipped through in my list!)

    On some sets, I'm not 100% sure if they are in their original specs or whether I re-calibrated them to make them more useful. I would appreciate a note on this so I can correct the list.

    The notation "10/8" means that the boosted value is 10, the regular maximum value is 8.

    Thanks for the information everyone who contributed. This will help not only me but others who read it.

    Of course, the SR one is the one we're missing that I'd want the most...

    Anykeyer, the only reason I like RESOURCEFUL is because sometimes it gives you an extra boost on refill after a sharp turn.

    Yes, somehow I mixed up something in the skill set. It should be
    • Skill-Set(9/8 Pure, 12/10 Skilled)


    I corrected the list. Thanks for pointing this out!

    No, please not! Now we can have several vehicles in Street all having the best settings. If there is one boosted set, you will always have to move it around from car to car if you are aiming on personal best times.

    Boosted gear is cancer. It does nothing good for the game, only makes already poor balance even worse.

    There was definitely a set that only had Pure boosted. I haven't re-rolled any of mine and I have a 9% Pure 10% Extra Pump in TC.

    And I'm sure there is an as yet incomplete Nitro Chemist set for RR with Pure and Ventilated affixes, but I can't remember the percentages off the top of my head. I have four parts of it on the Peugeot and haven't missed any Summit rewards for ages. Although when it will be completed is anyone's guess since it isn't in any of the listed upcoming Summits.

    They've made a bit of a mess with the boosted rewards this season. They're all over the place. Just have the two halves in successive summits. Coming up there's what I assume is 3 parts of an AR Sniffer set coming as a silver reward for the 3rd Anniversary summit, which isn't completed in the following summit, so will be of little use for what I imagine will be a Live crate boost to celebrate the three years. Even if it was a full set, it needed to be a reward in the previous summit so players have it for the start of the anniversary week.

    As an extension of this, Drifty is infinitely better than Extra Pump on Hovercrafts.
