It may not seem like much of a difference, but it's certainly not linear and you definitely see that reflected in the video.

There is only a 25ish tq difference all the way from 3600 to redline. Your hp comparison doesn't work here.
Also, at 3600, its making about 100 ftlbs more than stock tq.
In conclusion, IMO, you can't judge the response of an unspooled turbo in a first gear pull. I don't see where this is ever relevant, Im never just cruizing around at less than 10mph in first gear and then care about having instant boost. When the rpm is climbing that fast the turbo doesn't have time to spool as it will in any higher gear. Might be a downside to some, but if you are doing any form of racing just launch it and then stay above 3.5k rpm. Its not that hard.
Either way, im excited to see the haltech and would love to see some more details about how it is being used.
