What lag? I think the car drives like stock but instead feeling like a V6, it feels like a V8.

When the car is stock, the power kicks on after 4k. Full boost in the T'netics kicks in ~3300. Just keep the car above that and you shouldn't notice any lag.

Well, I had a turbonetics T70 turbo on my custom setup and lag was minimal so I could not imagine a T60 or T66 (depending on stage) have much lag unless the piping is that inefficient which is unlikely.

If you don't want to help a newb then just dont' post anything.. I think people that usually complain about repeat posts are people that feel like they need to reply to every post....... stop being such a forum hog

TN.. there is no lag if you get on it.. but for daily driving.. you will feel some lag compare to a TT setup for sure.

Daily driving means not boosting, and that would make any turbo kit the same. If by daily driving you mean flooring it from 2000rpm's then yes the TT will spool slightly quicker...

hmmm.... i am running well under boost because i set mine to hit 9psi at 5000 rpm... i have no idea what would happen if i moved that up to 3500 like how most people are running......

if anything i would bring it down to 4 grand... i mean i have a different set up though... my intake manifold is from ssr engineering... it produces more air flow than the others... hmm..i think im gonna do that today... ill bring it down to 4 grand an see how it feels...

lol...lets hope i dont become the next canidate for blown engines hahahah....
