if u go with turbo u have to go with dual turbo setup....to avoid turbo lag...
You dont have to have twin turbo. Checkout rygen, fazm, and buckman. All using single turbos no turbo lag.

a turbo will always need to spool up.... how in the world do you manage no lag with only a single turbo setup?

I am not exactly sure about Turbo's, but I do know Todd (rygen) ran one...and it was a monster, I think in the 10's.

07 Grabber Girl has a Twin Turbo setup in her car, you should talk to her about what exactly she paid and what she thinks about it if that's the route you wanna go

turbo lag is cause by installing to big of a turbo. to minimize turbo lag you have to size the turbo correctly, even on a twin turbo system.

but then you can't have as much power, right?

I heard the optimal setup was two smaller turbos ... each one isn't too big but together they work to give much more power than a single...

I know our BMW has the Twin Turbo and my friend's Audi TT has one turbo....and in his car you can notice the lag while in ours there is no lag at all

Excatly right. Rygen ran a 10.97 with a 75 shot and Buckman ran 11.01

K Look, I need some help. I've got an 07 V6 Mustang 30K miles and nothing done to it. My biz partner is driving an 06 M3 SMG, Do I stand a chance after modifing and what should I do first? Second, 210 hp and 240 tq? Where exactly does Ford get those numbers? Oh also, how much power can that 4.0L handle?

Thanks for the help guys.

I have several buddies at work that have M3's. While they are amazing machines, the 1/4 isnt their thing. I have seen them run sold mid 13's stock. You can easily get your 4.0 competitive with CAI a tune and a pulley. You will still lose...but it will be very close.

To make them wet themselves that your poor mans racer leaves their 50K sport scar in the dust...you will need boost...no way around it.

Here you go...ps GT drivers, do NOT click on this link...or all you know about the world will be turned upside down!

Hey Thanks illin, any ideas for the CAI, Tuner, the pulley I trust is pretty straight forward. What about a Flowmaster? I would like to beat him but for now just making him sweat for $20k might be fun.
