Default Re: Too much lag

how many lbs of boost does not have any factor in initial turbo lag, turbo lag is mostly caused by too big a turbo, to restrictive of an exhaust manifold, a poor tune or a slowly responding boost controller or wastegate, way too much rotating mass than your car is capable of handling(ex: heavy ass wheels,flywheel). i do personally think your turbo is a little big for a d16,theres not a whole lot of exhaust volume in honda motors in the first place, you step it down a notch youll noticed a difference, but you may sacrifice top end power. i personally have a little to big a turbo for my setup but im willing to suffer the slower spool time for the better performing turbo all the way through my rpm range.
