it is trhe gasket that is between the turbo and exhaust manifold yes. also ill have pics and instructions on portint the exhaust manifold

 

You are killin' us here man! If a gasket MOD can make 40HP please hurry with the details and pics!

 

Haven't we already been through all of this once before?

Turns out it is not true about the gasket thing...

yes it is weve done it twice. i'll have pics soon !

 

It's back again? I thought mrdecibel proved this when he took his manifold off just to find out and it wasn't an undersized gasket. That was a month ago, when we see real proof to the contrary this tread should be killed too.

 

just calm down, i have pics to prove my point

 

- This I gotta see.

 

Trust me I am not excited.

My point was it's been a month and still no pics. Did you take them to a 1 hour (er 1 month) photo?

 

no i took pics the on the second time we did it less tan two weeks ago and have been too busy to develop them so the guy that did the actual work is emailiong me his pics tonight

 

Are you sure it was an evo or was it a turbo lancer or something???

 

it was two evos. my friend is slacking on the pic email. ill get him tomorrow

 

Since he won't e-mail you the pictures, how about just getting your film developed? One hour photo maybe? I would like see something that contradicts the above picture...

 

if you knew how busy i am, you would be like DAMN !! im working almost 20 hours a day to get my business in full effect. pictures are the last on my list. i WILL get them but no promises on when

 

I beg to differ. 300bhp on 100RON fuel is a better estimate of the kind of power JDM Evo 8 is putting down at the crank.

But never mind, that's besides the point.

IMHO, you're not experiencing "turbo lag" per se. It's just purely lack of torque that makes the car lethargic below 3000rpm.

It's a 2litre, 8.8:1 compression. And you're comparing it to a NA with 2.5litre 10:1 compression.

I don't own Evo (yet ) but from what I hear, the Evo is VERY VERY good in terms of (lack of) turbo lag.

IMHO, get a lightened flywheel. That would cure the "lag" (NOT turbo lag).
