my opinion is that for low boost a roots SC is the best option, then rotrex, then turbo. that's me. i like responsiveness  |
What cars have you felt this in, stock or modified? This is always the first question I ask when people dislike turbo lag..
It would be like disliking 4 bangers because they are gutless after not experiencing a good lineup of motors; but if you drove a good variation of a strong 4 your perception would be changed.
