Turbo Lag
 

Seeing as how a topic really hasn't been started... post what you're doing to help reduce turbo lag... maybe Shortyz can make a sticky post :)

I have no idea, other then increasing the flow from the engine to the turbo (better headers/port polish), a better wastegate, and even the charge piping can effect it can't it?

What else can be done to reduce lag? Without changing the turbo... :)

manifold makes a huge diff
full race equal length manifolds help.

thats all i can really think of other then a BB turbo.

Is it possible for cooler turbos to spool faster? Ie. an oil cooler prior to oil feed into the turbo?
Are water cooled turbos generally faster spooling then an oil cooled of equal or lesser size?

unless you have a shitty cx tranny like me...i tear people up then i shift, wait for power, and have to play catch-up

Re:Turbo Lag
 

spool time has nothing to do with oil or coolant..

i mean u might spool like 5rpm faster with a thinner oil.

but whats it worth :P

either BB or better manifold.

NX intercooler shot. That will reduce the lag ;D

i think having a free flowing exaust makes you spool faster...... like 3", or getting rid of your cat.
