wake up man, your agenda doesn't match everyone elses reality.
My inquiry is
not aimed at anyone going to the track or racing. The intent is to offer an option for those that end up being stuck in traffic a majority of the time and want accessible low-end grunt.

So what is with all the misguided hate for turbos on this car.

That's all well and good, but it's also not the application I'm talking about. Not all of us live solely in the twisties over 4500 RPM. Don't get it twisted, there's no hate, let alone misguided. There are obviously plenty of turbo options out there for your preferred application. My point is there are none for the average city commuter that is stuck in traffic, then needs to shoot the gap, only to realize his turbo is too huge to spool up until he's already been cut-off by an angry soccer mom in a minivan. This is where my call for a lower boost threshold kit stems from.
