Hi all,

I have just yesterday had a map done by Jolly Green Monster. car is a 2008 WRX STI hatch forged engine build.Usual parts:

Mahle forged pistons
ACL race bearings
ARP head studs
RCM oil pump
Cosworth head gaskets
Also:
De-cat turbo back and K&N Typhoon induction kit.

Reason i'm here is because when i go to accelerate the car seams a bit sluggish (as if it need to think a second about it) before power is put down. its fine if i build up the throttle slowly.
Is this a simple case of needing to build up more boost before applying power or just need to keep revs higher? or just turbo lag? ??

HELP!!

 

if your low in rev range may take a bit to build up boost. first port of call would be speak to jgm about it.

 

That is what i did first thing this morning, I am thinking it is low boost/ me getting paranoid!

but thought it is worth checking with people on here.

 

what sort of revs are you sat at when it takes a second to take off?

 

If i'm in 3rd and sat around 2000- 3000 roughly is when it happens. Its the first car i have had remapped and the more i write the more i think i need to have the boost up more. Just feels so different now. lots more engine noise from down pipe + induction kit. also might be throwing me off.

 

yeah that will be too low for the turbo. nothing to worry about, drop it a cog and go basicly

 

Thanks for the help, just gotta get used to the beast!

 

hehe yeah, just a trait of turbo cars, untill the turbo comes on boost it will accelerate like a limp fish lol
