actually the lag is supposedly minimal, something that bullseye seems to specialize in- high HP/high boost turbos with the least amount of lag.

According to that video and listing to the gears, thier is major lag. That thing took forever to spool.

I would love to see how much lag this turbo has up at my elevation (7,400 feet at the track), as I nipped a few turbocharged vehicled in the butt last night (good Reaction time on my part, too), but this seems to be a problem for all vehicles up here no matter what technology or set up is used in the turbo.

Was that the turbo blowing up during the 3rd pull?
