Because the kit is far from "laggy". It makes full boost roughly the equivalent of a greddy tt. The curve is just much steeper. If you're not making a baseless assumption then you obviously have no idea how to drive a turbo car. The kit is seriously only "laggy" at all if you try to go wide open from the incorrect gear in very low rpms.

 

Here comes another TN war.. lol..

 

Nah... I think for the most part people here have heard it all. No reason to make a "war" over anything.

 

True.. It was just a joke Taurran...

 

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

 

i dunno why you and everybody else wasted time responding to him, hes says the same crap in every st turbo thread...remember this is the same guy that said

 

Good point. To tell you the truth, I rarely remember who's who unless they have a noticeable name or avatar.

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.

 

He did it twice yesterday in two different threads

 

Quicksilvers infinite supply of everyones quotes. You crack me up. Although your quote has absolutely nothing to do with me installing or driving a car with a turbonetics kit installed, or why in MY opinion it is a bit laggy, but thanks. And I like how you threw in RA.

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.

 

It was too late for that the moment you made your first post.

 

I'm not the only one with that same opinion or suggestion, I just believe you like it because it goes against your car, and what you are trying to do with it. Good looking car btw.

 

Well thanks, but I truly don't believe that the 60-1 on that kit lags much at all when compared to other single turbo systems and other platforms.

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.

 

Alright now guys.Keep this thread clean or it will get deleted LOL

 

I know, I just wanted to relive the short but good times with the set-up. I keep thinking, if it hadnt blown I would have stayed happy with it. Thanks btw...

 

go with the powerlab single
no blow by
just my

 

your fastest time(with the Z) still with the TN kit right?

 

11.1 @ 126 > 11.9 @ 114-116

 

May be true... But you're the ONLY one that would take time to look for them
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.

 

Your two cents are pretty much worthless. Any gravity fed oil return that is not routed at a straight downward angle with no kinks will smoke. I can dig up NUMEROUS instances of garrett turbos smoking and blowing oil by the seals.
