To the guy bitching about turbo lag.........there's nothing better(other than boost itself) In just about every modded FWD import I've been in, the tires squeel like crazy off the line, wheelspin sucks to a certain degree. And those are NA cars. Imagine a S/c'ed car...pretty much instant boost(yes, S/C's can have a little lag too, but HARDLY any) last time I looked, that made the tires spin worse, which results in slower 60' and 1320' times. Now take my car(HB, LS engine, T3/T4 turbo) on good tires(Advan A-032R's) When I launch, ESPECIALLY on the street, the tires melt themselves if I take off even 1psi in boost. When I launch it about 1 second before it gets into boost......hold on, the car lags just enough to keep the tires planted, then takes off like a dream. Also, if you're really that worried about a little lag, BUY A SMALLER TURBO!!!! Thanks to the hybrid turbo, my car spools up right where I need it to, and has the power on the big end cause of the housing. You can always go ball-bearing too.
