Stock turbo? You need a bigger turbo, better exhaust, better intercooler and better headers. You'll have even less "lag" with better engine breathing

Yep stock STi turbo, cold air intake, sti cooler (stock) and not sure on exact details but apparently a full stainless exhaust.

Just money money money...these things are all on my list though.

You don't "need" any of that.

Spent money on hookers and beer. And houses.

Hookers and beer won't help the response from his turbo.

He "needs" that stuff if he wants "less lag" (even though its not really lag)

Ren dog, how old are you? Did you have your license once before or something? You seem to have had alot of cars :s

Only had my L's for the past two and a half years... But done plenty of off road and mates letting me run their cars around on my L's.

Intake, exhaust manifold/up-pipe, turbo, reflash. You'll love it like a new car once they're done. I'd suggest waiting til you're considering selling the car once you're bored of the power.

It is boost threshold. Ever seen a compressor map? Turbos work in an efficiency zone (too much/little boost), just like tyres & brake pads (too hot/cold), fuel injectors (too much/little pressure), dampers (too high/low springs)... etc. Apart from Shazza (who is considering putting a GTPS02 on his stock 2L, everyone here is talking about boost threshold.

And that's all the technical talk I'm allowed to do in the GT this week.

How hard can it be, right?

I just disregard my little turbo completely.

Just think of the B4 as a big laggy turbo car that comes in at 4.5k revs.

Yeh so much struggle sitting her in a Perth summer (last 2 days excluded) knowing i'll be going from a 40-degree day to a -4 degree day.

[Adam]

I think im going to have to sell the wagon and just buy an NA dunger, so i can go to the snow in aus summers!

[ams]

when do you fly out?

Got a few days in LA first then a whole week in Whistler.

[Adam]

God I love that pitcher!

[Shaz]

I had a T70 turbo on my old 1JZ, and that hit full boost at around 5800, and boosted hard all the way till 8.5k.

It was epic. A dog to drive off boost, but phwwoooaarrr.
