What a load of bollocks

Oh hear we go!
So if i lauch at 5k, to the red line, change up to second - where's the lag?
I i sit there cruising in 5th at 2k then floor it, course they'll be lag FFS. So changing down the box will get me back on song will it not?
If you are doing 2k in 5th, change down and then floor it, then where the lag is, is the time it then takes the turbo to spool up at 4000rpm in 3rd (or whatever the actual rpm works out at on your particular box)
you seem to be somewhat confused between the term "lag" and "boost threshold"
Boost threshold is the places within the rev range the engine is capable of spooling the turbo, lag is how long it takes to do so once you are in that threshold.
