Default Hey Rygen...

One thing that always was a problem agains Turbo was turbo lag, how is that (or is it even a problem with powerhouse) on your car???

i think you would get a better response if you shot him a pm
he would be happy to tell you about it because he is the test mule for it
i tell you what though turbo lag or not that thing is amazing

i can tell you right now- if there is any lag it is going to be very little. That specific turbo reaches max efficiency at i think...12 psi? so it is a fairly small turbo for our motors. It is going to spool quickly and hit max boost quickly. I don't know from experience with this turbo, but i have driven and worked on my fair share of turbo cars and i dont think the ph setup is going to have a problem with turbo lag.

well... I rode in the Powerhouse car... no lag... simply amazing! And actually Rygen was able to launch his car with boost! Can't wait to see what a looser torque converter does for him!!!

Looser!!!! ROFL!!!! I can't wait for my TQ converter...and my PH drive shaft.

I make max boost at around 2800 to 2900. At mason dixon, I was launching at 2500 rpm....which put me at around 5lbs of boost.....spun a tad....but the car took off. LOL. So, the lag really isn't noticable, especially with my 3.73's.
