You really think there will be enough turbo lag on a GT2554R turbo front mount to make a difference? These turbo's are at max boost at 2.5-3k and spool up to 7-8k, which I assume you know. Plenty of people run these turbo's and I never read/hear about turbo lag being an issue. Also, if you didn't know: turbo lag is the time it takes for the turbo to overcome its rotational inertia or basically spool up. .IMO 2.5-3k isn't bad and if I'm doing under 3k I'm probably not trying to go fast

^ I didn't have any lag at all with the GT25. very nimble and quick, and I have a front mount.

That's only a small part of it, the other part of the "lag" which Tamago is referring to is the time it takes to re-pressurise the intake system from when you lift off and the bov releases any pressure in the system. this is the "lag" that is most noticable. The smaller the turbo, the longer it takes to re-pressurise everything. That is why they invented antilag, it keeps the turbo spooling while off the throttle and keeps the intake pressurised.

Lol... This is exactly what I mean. If I was running huge piping and exhaust I could see turbo lag being a problem. Also I'm not trying to build a race car, just a daily driver with a bit more pep. Yes, if I could afford a RSX-S I would buy one, but I can't. Turbo Yaris is actually a perfect dd car for me and I'd rather have a toyota :D
