Turbo lag
« on: June 17, 2014, 09:46:51 pm »
I've recently been feeling there is a touch more lag when pulling from low revs... I've changed the dv to rev g and had a bit of a fiddle with the setting 969 at the moment... Does anyone have any ideas about how I can reduce the feeling of lag...? The car pulls strongly after 2500rpm so I'm just looking to smooth the phase where the turbo is spooling ... Ideas greatly received

Intercooler and intercooler pipes will help.. The k04 doesnt really suffer with any lag though and would probaly be pritty much impossible to get much boost below 2500rpm

K04 doesnt spool until somewhere between 2000 and 2500rpm so to get it to pull below 2000rpm is gonna be a struggle

Cheers mate I've got the s3 inter cooler and pipes... It's probably just me as I've been doing more motorway miles and keeping it steady so when I go for it I usually have to get over that 2500rpm threshold

Nice signature Rich - you should list all those brands under the wing mirror on each side. All the cool kids do it  :rolleye:

Also... remember that increasing the capacity of the charge system (between the turbo and the intake manifold) will increase lag.
