Turbo Lag Reduction
another hmmm...
Hey, if you want F/I without lag... get a supercharger...
but life in S/C, i think sucks... get used to the power... no more suprise or rush of boost, u'll get used to it like anything else... after a month u'r going to think the car came like that
The Evo has almost nooooooo lag, making it a stunner on the rally/circuit scenes... very drivable car but potent power on tap, just over 3k... sweeeet
once again just my 2c

Ok, since you are use to turbo cars.. (sorry for assuming u didnt) The evo is actually VERY good with turbo lag.. but the best way to improve turbo lag is usually exhaust..
There is a stroker kit for the evo.. check with jun.. But it is gonna cost you.. Try exhaust and some tuning 1st.

I was really just trying to get input on ways to reduce the turbo lag. I realize that some turbo cars are worse than our EVO's. I was hoping for more "tips and tricks" to reduce turbo lag than the one's I listed at the top...

Hmm..has anyone tried the exhaust from Buschur Racing? I have heard that it is one of the better exhausts in terms of actual results for the Evo.

you won't have to replace your turbo everyday, maybe once every year!!!
seriously though, anti-lag can be turned on and off with a switch. so you can drive with it off most of the time and turn it on when you need it.
don't have it on mine, but know a couple of guys who do, and it is something

I find it very hard to believe that Mitsubishi would install a "restrictor gasket" for US emissions. The JDM version of our car has only 5hp more that we do (276HP). You said you have actually done this MOD? Pictures please! If this is true...

Which gasket is it? The turbo to manifold gasket?
Just let us know which one and i can do the rest
