Its a bit late AFTER you have posted slagging off the quality of his article.

Did it not occur to you to pm him FIRST, and then post up afterwards?

I explained my reasoning behind it to him in my PM, however, in hindsight, I could have done it differently - the intention was just to start up a "good" technical debate . However, I'm sure that Stu doesn't need you or Tony to fight his battles for him .

I love the way you like to use dramatic exageration of the facts and how you can jump "pointing out a mistake" (IMO) to "slagging" .

I would make a fortune if i could just design and market an "Anti Forum" system.

Especially if it could lower the "Stress threshold" as well.

It is with a simple mod, but I was only joking, as Mike seemed to be getting into a "conspiracy theory" mindset over it.

But this seems to be the major problem in the way you've come at this.

Even when its been explained numerous times your wrong, your arrogant enough to shrug off the facts and come across as a smug cunt because of this.

You won't accept your wrong, as you don't seem to have the mental capacity to understand it, and from your own reasoning this means you can't accept it.

Excuse me, but all that has been said is "you are wrong", no-one with any precise facts has given exact reasoning and explanation as to WHY I am wrong, (although a couple of "theories" have been suggested by people who are not tuners). When I have then questioned these theories further, no factual data or information has been given or even suggested to support this by person or tuner .

For example, I have still questioned the effects of rpm setting points and LC in conjunction to the boost threshold of large turbos - not ONE person has answered this.

So as you have such a grasp of the whole situation - please clarify the points I have queried - I will even re-cap for you:

1. a) How do you use ALS to significantly change the boost threshold of a large turbo (i.e. more than 200rpm, which would in itself be impossible to check without data-logging)?
b) How do you retain the energy required to over-come the enertia of the turbo once the throttle has been pressed, if you are more than the few hundred rpm outside the boost threshold?
2. a) How do you use LC to change the boost threshold of a large turbo (i.e. more than 200rpm, which would in itself be impossible to check without data-logging)?
b) How do you retain the energy required to over-come the enertia of the turbo once the throttle has been pressed, if you are more than the few hundred rpm outside the boost threshold?

PS. Your = belongs to, You're = You are - at least I have enough mental aptitude for this simple concept .

What a read!

Essentially, I agree with Mike's original point that time delay between pressing the accelerator and receiving boost is called turbo lag is technically incorrect.
In one instance that paragraph is correct (when the turbo is within the boost threshold) and in another it is incorrect (when turbo is out of the boost threshold).
Whilst I wouldn't go so far as to slate Stu (in such a manor as Mike did) over a simple lack of correct phrasing, I also wouldnt be shooting Mike down in flames either!!
Turbo lag, much like "wastegate chatter" is a common misunderstanding, both of which clearly frustrate Mike immensely!! Had Stu have added just 4 or so words he would have avoided creating yet anohter batch of lag 'confusoids'.

Anyway, I think it all got a bit out of hand and I dont think anything Mike said was intentionally malicious (everyone comes across slightly more confrontational online) and also it is clear Stu has not written anything that is incorrect, rather, he has written something that could be interpretted incorrectly! As Stu said, that is not his problem, but at the same time I can see quite clearly that it would have been good for Stu just to mention the boost threshold as it would stop Mike from having to correct the swarms of anti-lag'ers that will no doubt be expecting 20psi from 800rpm on there T3s

Thats how I've seen the whole thing anyway
