Dont listen to him. The lag isnt *that* bad, people either dont know how to drive or have something wrong in their setup if they arent seeing boost until 6k.



lag is overrated.



at 15psi you should put down like 425-430 rwhp with a conservitave tune.

Who was it that said "If you're waiting for boost, you're in the wrong gear." ?

That goes for any setup.





T-78 is a good turbo, but better suited for running higher boost in race applications....something over 15psi. You can get a smaller turbo that is more responsive and puts down the same numbers at 15psi that will have a better power band.
