It is quite laggy indeed. While the wastegate issue didn't significantly effect the torque peak, the car feels much more responsive and boost recovers much quicker after shifts. Combine that and the fact that we couldn't get over 18psi out of it last time, the difference was very pronounced. I really believe this size turbo needs an EWG to take full advantage of the flow and make the power/lag trade-off more fair. The compressor on this turbo is quite large but the exhaust housing isn't... the EWG will really aid in freeing up the exhaust side. Of course then we can also run more boost on the race gas map and hopefully hit around 400whp
