    Oh really? So the turbo can spool up all on its own eh? You are such a tool, sure the lag is reduced but you can never totally eliminate the lag unless maybe you powered your turbo with a electric motor and not the exhaust gasses. I also have no desire to ever enter your stupid realm. Cars are the worst investment ever and I have no desire to throw hanfulls of cash in the trash so I can go fast when the light turns green.

    Virtually eliminates - not entirely though. You are correct in that non sequential and single turbos can result in noticeable lag.

    Unfortunately turbos are a crude way to generate power - which might work great with the lore of Defiance in that it's a cheap option.

    Sigh, so a car with turbos has 0 horsepower? That the logic you are presenting. With the horsepower the engine has it can get the car moving to spin the turbos. The stock twins are not that big and spin up quickly. Do you know what the word sequential means? With the air moving its plenty to get the first turbo boosting and providing power.

    Intense: grand champion of the stop light to stop light grand prix! I just reread my post and I am still trying to find when I mentioned the base engine generated 0 horsepower. Could you please point that out to me?

    Well driving my wife's stock sequential twins Supra has 0 lag. Power on the get go. Now compared to my upgraded single supra is a whole different story. My old S4 which was not sequential twins had lag.

    Lol flipping burgers says the guy who rides a bus to work. What's really going to make you rage is that I am willing to bet I will retire very comfortably before you. Keep eating that struggle sandwich troll.
