Which is why I'm here in the itb thread lookin' at parts that cost almost as much as a turbokit
Thankfully, no automotive engineer on the planet gives a flying fuck what you feel is acceptable. Especially when there isn’t a single modern turbo that suffers from anything you could claissify as a lack of throttle response. Turbo cars can suffer from transient response, depending on the size of the turbo, but the throttle plate opens the second you mash the gas on pretty much all of them.
I’m going with, you just don’t know what you’re talking about. And that’s fine.
The speed with which revs rise and fall have absolutely zero to do with induction type. This is all relative to mass of the rotating assembly, including the flywheel. You’ve proven my point.
You’re free to like and dislike whatever you want, for whatever reason, but you should at least have an educated opinion.
