I have a MY97 Sti-3 & my car actually 'Takes off!' at about 4 1/2 RPM, I am sure it used to be earlier than that, just wondering when everyone elses Turbos 'Come to Life'

I have a MY00 UK Turbo - only mod is a Scoobysport backbox. Before the backbox, the turbo would start to kick-in from 2250 to 2500, with the backbox 2500 to 2750 rpm. Real push is felt from 3000 rpm. Hope this is of some help.

'93 WRX with big turbo meant big turbo lag - took until over 4k for boost to come in.

Now have full de-cat, and starts to pull in the late 3k rev range :D

97 UK Turbo, completely standard. Start to feel it at about 2500, kick in the @rse at 3000.

MY00
VF23
Link (running a Dawes at the mo for boost control)
4-1 header
Fully decatted

Starts spooling right before 3k...huge kick around 3700 rpm.

/J

Sti4 before decat - 3500
after - 3250

Ro.

MY99 - TEK2.5, decat and induction, spools by early 2's full boost of 17PSi by around 2.7k :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

my94 full de-cat hear turbo from around 2000rpm really starts to pull from around 3250-3500rpm.

std gtb, primary 2000rpm, secondary 4500rpm... Both start spooling 500rpm earlier.

MY96 UK with decat centre + bb,panel filter, kicks in around 3k
before it used to come on about 4k. It feels and sounds loads better now :)

usually 30 seconds when working away from home

MY97 sti v3. really kicks in properly at 4k

uk my96... starts to wake up at about 3000rpm and hits full boost at about 3200rpm... thats the older TD05 turbo fitted as standard for you..

JGM :)

uk 99 FMIC, full de-cat and 1.3bar...starts about 2800 and is 'singing' at 4500 :D

ps still running the slow old TD04L turbo :(

MD oh dear!

Mine hits 1.2bar at about 2800 in 5th, although this will be changing soon when the VF22 hybrid comes:D

Mines a 95 wrx with a pipercross induction kit and tsl back box and doesnt come in till 4000rpm

I start to enter the grinning zone at about 3000 rpm and then warp speed at 3700ish. But by that time I`m not really looking at rev counter just holding on for dear life. On a MY99 WRX

P20, I wish I had your money :)

I honestly like my turbo as it gives me the 'punch' lower down than the 'big' breathing ones...I dont do 180mph all over the place, I do 40-120 in some places, it gives a good low to medium rpm 'punch' :)

my00 with ppp about 3000rpm
