Turbo Lag

[Jimbo2000]

Hi all.

I am relatively new to turbo engines so i'm not sure if what i am experiencing is normal.

getting a little bit of lag when giving it a lot of juice then shifting. only half a second or so but it feels really weird.

Is it cause i've got a rather large turbo and i'm only running low boost at the moment?

not that big a fuss but would like ideas on how to eliminte it.

will an aftermarket BOV do the job?

Cheers

What sort/size is this larger turbo? But in general the larger the turbo the more rpm it needs to spool up so yes it is normal to have lag, what rpm do you begin to get some boost?

I would definately give an aftermarket BOV a bash. I did for exactly the same reason you are stating (only I didnt have a larger turbo) - it made a difference.

turbo starts to spool at about 3500, i like it there gives me a bit more fun if i dont want to boost it

getting a tune next week to find out exactly what type it is but it is rated at 600hp

you can make a slight cvhange to the stock bov to make the car a little more responsive..

do a search for "standard bov mod" in this section
