I am also reading that centrifugal SCs have a sort of lag as well. Can anyone comment on this? I'm not really gunning too often. Most of my time is spent between 2.5k to 4.5k. I only get into the higher RPMs when driving come open canyons or passing at higher speeds. My concern is that I don't drive aggressively enough to really feel the gains since they come on gradually, whereas with tt, there's massive trq pretty early. On the flip side, tt costs a lot more and I am not sure how often I will actually get to utilize that massive power as well, though it's effects int he low end should be felt more.
you need a turbo kit bro.

If I did this whole build again, I would go turbo in a heart beat.

After driving a 370z with a BP kit, theres no comparison.

the sound, the feeling.. everything.

Agreed.

I have the BP kit and it's about the same cost as going with the Stillen kit. The upside is you don't hit a power wall around 400-420whp.

My boost threshold is around 2,500rpms and turbo lag is just a couple hundred rpms so there shouldn't be any worry that you'll never be in boost. In fact I think you would find it, if so inclined, hard to keep it out of boost under anything other than slight throttle.

There's nothing like the feel of a turbo car. Especially one on the VHR motor. This platform was built for boost. It should of come that way from Nissan.
