Hello. I have been driving my X and I noticed some turbo lag. Does anybody else notice it to???
P.S. Sorry if this is in the wrong category...

 

???
what did you expect other wise?

 

put some biger parts on it with a tune and the lag will be less lol

 

I don't think that there is a turbo car that doesn't have turbo lag........






Oh wait, some super charged + turbo charged (dual forced induction) cars have virtually no turbo lag........

 

Do you have an GSR or MR?? On the MR that is a big part of sport and s-sport modes. when you slow down it downshifts to keep you in the power band to keep a handle on the turbo lag as much as posible. In normal it is there to save you at the pump by keeping the revs low.

 

I had a 335i prior to the MR and there was almost no observable lag with the small twin turbo set up. Power came on right away and felt linear all the way to the top.

 

^ Yes the 335i does not experience any turbo lag due to the two small twin turbos and the torque on that thing is insane

 

I've noticed the turbo lag once or twice.

 

ahhh ha ha, Turbo Lag on a Turbo charged car!?!!? I refuse to believe this!

 

Turbo lag = the time to pressurize your intake from the turbo charger to the combustion chamber.

Unless your turbo charger is pressurizing your intake from idle, it will have turbo lag no matter how many or small your turbo is.

 

well have you ever driven a Evo before? They all have some turbo lag but wait until you drive a big turboed Evo there is some lag but its worth it in the End

 

I'm not sure what you expected. Get it tuned.

 

You just have to figure out how to drive her. I just drive like it stole it.
