Can you guys comment on the power delivery? In terms of turbo lag (or how it compares to being NA), how the car feels in low/mid/high rpm ranges and if temps have been an issue at all. Thanks!

From my experience, turbo lag is very minimal with these turbos. It feels more like a V8 in terms of how instant the torque comes on. Check out the dyno sheet and see how early it makes 400 wtq.

Sometimes I think I understand turbo lag and then I’m unsure again. Is it better to think of turbo lag as “torque” lag or “throttle” lag? From what I can see the power comes on as soon as 2K RPM so unsure where the lag is coming from? Also are there any plans on developing kits for the 350z? Thanks!

If the turbo's are lighting up at 2k rpms they are not laggy at all. They are actually too small but for the power level the person wants works just fine. Go up in the power and they will become a restriction on the exhaust side.

The turbos are appropriately sized for this application to provide fast response and good peak whp. With the supplied turbos and a boost controller , the setup will max out at around 700 whp yet will still have instant response. If aiming for more than 700 whp, a turbo upgrade will need to be performed.

If you're in the right gear at the right rpm turbo lag is very minimal.. even less so if you have rolling anti-lag. i've noticed my car prefers a high 2nd hear over a mid to high 3rd gear.i get more lag in 3rd for sure. there "is" lag.. there will always be lag compared to N/A.. but it can be minimalized. very worth turbo'ing these cars over buying a faster car and then making that faster car faster... boosting these turns it into a whole new monster.
