this is certainly not a laggy turbo! If anything, the exhaust housing is too small.

But like I said, I think people here already have their own opinions and very few are willing to change them no matter what anyone says, no matter how much debate or arguing takes place.

You guys get wayyyy to butt hurt over an opinion. Why don't you stay on topic and give this guy YOUR opinion instead of getting into a QUOTE war and a ST vs TT war. If you have a problem with my opinion send me a pm... Lets not "douche" up the thread.

But really, I believe a small amount of turbo "lag" is actually great for daily street driving and straight line traction.
My custom turbo setup with a much larger turbo, I can say, has some nice lag. It doesn't hit boost until about 3800-4000 rpms, and I like it. I can drive around all day and never actually get into boost if I don't want to, and it also helps the car to hook up in every gear. People talk about going sideways on built setups in 3-4 gear with 550+whp setups. I can keep the car relatively grounded where TT owners are sliding all over the place.
I believe launching on street tires is also easier on a single turbo setup as well.

+1, after the 550whp mark, a lil lag will actually help you put it to the ground (so does getting R888s
), if you are building an autox, time attack car and want "no lag" then you would do somethign like philthys car 
and btw....
... it doenst take long for anybody to find your quotes fricku... almost all your post are in vrt threads.

Once again thank you all for the explation and differences with single and twin setups, and how they benefit on the drag strip or road racing. Truly opened my eyes to the possiblities with a single turbo setup.
