I really don't want to induce more lag, but with increased efficiency to the the whole intake tract, the turbo will only have to boost to say 17-18 psi to achieve full manifold pressure and desired power level ( I hope ), instead of 25 psi +. Lag times should be reduced I hope, along with intake temps, and hence achieve my power levels easily.. I'm only chasing slightly more power than I had, with the new turb having to do less work to provide it.
