Some people need to read threads before replying, and maybe learnt the difference between lag and boost threshold too

Yes it drives 'perfect' off boost, but compared to pretty much every other 2ltr turbo engine, Impreza, Evo, RB20, SR20, etc etc, it feels a bit dead on initial throttle response, esp at lower rpm.

My boost comes in 2000-2500rpm too, that's not lag, that's boost threshold.

Nothing to do with drive by wire at all, none of the engines mentioned have it.

It's not low comp etc etc, it's a bog stock 2wd engine. TBH low comp engines lack off boost power, but it doesn't really affect throttle response much anyhow.

Cam timing is correct, fueling is fine, all checked.

The old/unknown Stg1 chip might just be shite, could have retarded ign across the board or something for all I know.

Fudgey- Pretty much same size TB, but it wouldn't make much difference unless one was overly big so light throttle was more like full.

I got all the L8/greens/3bar/TPS stuff to go on it, I'll take it to Will and get it stg 3'd and L8'd along with coilpack and ALS and hope that sorts it as nobody has any real suggestions barring what I already thought.

Soon as clutch/box dies I'll go flywheel too as I know that will help.
