i don't want to get into a comp argument, every body has different ways of engine tuning ( it would be no fun if they was all the same !! ), incidentally both cars ran the same boost from a T34, and i was talking about lag time before full boost was achieved, not on boost performance..

and more and more high power cars use higher comp ( i noticed the one on the cover of fast ford @ 1094 BHP and has a comp of 10:1 !!! just one off the top of my head )

variable vane turbos are a good thing and i feel that they ( when they can make them last !! lol ) will replace most turbo set ups !! ( the Astra VXR uses a large turbo ( well almost !! ) and they have no noticeable lag and power all the way to the limiter !!

a T4 with T2 lag anyone !!
