New Option to Significantly Reduce Turbo Lag
 

Most of us drive turbo cars. We all want the same thing: faster spool. Especially with the larger turbos.

I finally found a solution and it puts anti-lag to shame. It just hit the market, but I have been working with the fabricators for a while to perfect it.


So, here it is:

There is still some work to do, like choosing the right rodent. The wheel is somewhat small to keep the rotational interia low, so only smaller rodents will fit. A regular hamster will work, but I heard there is a breed of gerbil out there that people call the cheetah gerbil because of its speed. That sounds like my kind of rodent! :D I will be testing various options, hopefully on the dyno so that I have real number comparisons.

Maintenance should not be too bad - estimates are that the rodent will have to be changed around every 15,000 miles or so, depending on driving habits.

I have yet to see how durable the setup is long-term. The wheel is a composite capable of withstanding high temperatures, but I think a good upgrade would be titanium. It would be even lighter and more durable than the composite. But hey, this is the first generation of this product - there are improvements to come.

Let me know when I can order mine..

is there an adapter kit we can get for a stock turbo?

Anyone have any dyno numbers on this yet?

How much for the full kit? Pls include 2 hamsters for me :D

Yme? Are you planning on some kind of twin hamster setup or just getting a spare right away?

Will the hamster void my warranty? {pcfreak}

twin hamster of course. I wanna be the first one to do it :lol:

It's gotta come with extra rodents... you'll prolly cook a couple of em on a track day.

are the hamsters ceramic coated??????

You got way to much time on your hands

would i get anymore power if i used a chiuwawa instead of a hamster?

This will go on for days haha

Get 1 big hamster and a small one so 1 spools the other and have some steroids hooked up to them.

lol to the first 13 posts

Cayman, I don't think the sequential setup will work. I want to run a combined charged guinea pig + turbo'd hamster setup...
