Omg, I absolutly hate hearing that annoying sound of turbo lag... Dude our Ko3 are almost litterally spooled at idle.

 

oh i didnt know that....but how can there be no turbo lag? and this is a serious question cause i thought all turbos had lag until they kick in...mabye im using the wrong term?

 

nvm i just realized its probably cause its recirculating rite?

 

I am exaggerating but only a little. Stock ko3 are so small along with the compressor wheel and the spin fast, quick. You might experience 'lag' up to 1500rpms.

if u notice lag in milliseconds, then ya the k03's got lag

 

basically since the turbo makes boost under 2k rpms and hits 20psi shortly there after, it basically doesnt have lag since anytime you hit the gas, you have boost

 

3things..1 ive never hit 20lbs of boost. and second if u read i corrected myself, its just ive had a rough few weeks and just worked an 11 hour shift...my brain is not on right now. and third, whats that swooshing noise if you mash the throttle before 3krpms? i know what spooling sounds like and its not that, from past experience i was told thats lag, thats y i thought thats what it was. should i not be able to hear that noise?

 

Here we go again.
1. If you are not chipped, you will not ever see 20 lbs.
2. Your correction was not right.
3. That whoosh sound is most likely the intake sucking in air.
4. Lag is not physically present. It's a term that refers to the downtime of taking a big turbo awhile to spool. The intermittent time from -20inHG or what have you to +boost is what lag is. Since our cars hit a full 7-9psi by 2000 rpms, there virtually is no lag.

 

I can faintly hear mine when I'm getting on it. 100% stock

 

thats correct.
