well, after running 9.0s in the 1/4 mile in a car with a 3.8L V6 and one big turbo, turbolagg can be almost entirely eliminated.

I thought they were horse sheet as well, after driving a few with massive lagg.

But then after building a few with the right combo, I found that it can be eliminated to the point of not even noticing it. I would never have thought of using one had I not driven one that was built right.

Think about a full steel body american 2 door sedan lifting the front wheels at the launch. Boost was hitting full tilt at 2500 rpms.


Pushing 750 hp without forced induction? Unless you are building a stroker (at least 347) with a billet crank forged rods and pistons, and AFR -3 heads race ported with an aftermarket ECU, and a pro street intake manifold, and then plan to spray a 300 shot to hit 750, it's simply not gonna happen.


What I honestly suggest to you is this, make friends with someone who has a 500 hp turbo car. if they have the ability to make 500 hp, they should have made it mostly lagg free.


Not sure how test drives work on that side of the pond, but here if you BS your way enough, drive in a new car worth more than 30K (US) then you can usually arrange a test drive in some serious machinery. I've BS'd my way into a 911, an NSX a XK8 and corvettes and so on. Would never have been able to afford one the day I drove them though.
