I think you're confused about what different terms mean.

Lag (when most people around here use the term) is "waiting for boost". That may be "waiting for boost" when you are at lower revs than the turbo will spool up to - ie, the engine must accelerate naturally aspirated until there is enough exhaust flow to spool the turbo up. Or it might be "waiting for boost" when you have been off throttle, say going through a corner, but the revs are high enough to make boost - when you put the foot back down the delay before it starts making boost is lag. That latter one is the real and only true definition of lag, as originally applied to truly laggy turbo cars like the first Porsche turbos. Lag was a killer back then - you'd come out of a corner, put your foot down and wait and wait and wait and they the car would explode onto boost, swap ends and try to kill you in the scenery.

Anyway, the car not making boost until 3000rpm or so is normal, and as long as it doesn't fart and carry on before it comes onto boost, then everything is fine.

A BOV SHOULD NOT VENT TO ATMOSPHERE if you have an Air Flow Meter (AFM). The car will not like it. The AFM measures the air flow while you're on boost. Then you let the throttle off and the BOV let's a lot of that air out. The ECU doesn't know the air is gone and continues to put the fuel into the engine. This causes, at the least, shitty fuel rich running, and can and will cause the engine to stall - to actually stop running. This is a shitful situation and can be avoided by simply not running a venting BOV.

The BOV is not involved in "lag" at all, so forget about it

ok thanks. I will try to get a recirculation pipe going back to the turbo inlet. and see the difference.

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
