think you will be ok with it, as long as you can get used to the lag.

surely if you can judge the lag you can use the accelerator earlier to get the power delivery when you need it?

then i would talk a turbo specialist and tell them your engine spec and what you want from the engine and they will spec it

no point putting mix match parts on, you will not get the best from them

t4 1600 track car would be too laggy even when you learn how to drive it coming out of bends the revs woulkd be too low to spool the turbo up do as gus suggests get a turbo properly speced for the engine..

Yours is slightly different Gus

You haven't just got a "T4 bolted to a steel CVH"
