Have to agree Davey...

And cars do have lag and doo come on boost. Less so nowerdays with variable vane turbos but even in the late 90's it was true.

My broter in law had an almost stock 4x4 Cosworth. I had a stock Volvo T5. I prefered the performance of my T5 as it was an auto. When I booted the throttle it dropped down a gear and the reves instantly rose spoolign the turbo and bringing the bust on. In Bros cossy. You would floor the throttle in 5th and wait... and wait... And WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..

But my 250BHP 2.9 V6 has little turbo's that turbo techncis used to keep the flexibility of the V6 and give boost from low down. Sure they can't give more than 300BHP max between them but they get there very well
