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.
There's no lag with any kind of a supercharger. It's just that the centrifugal won't build full boost until the rpms are high.
