We're you running meth? Can the lag not be tuned out at all?

some may suggest other alternatives to a 20g... but improving your setup with a less restrictive intake/exh mani, exhaust, or piping will improve lag greatly. theres lots of areas to tackle. 

tuning can also help depending on how much your existing tune is off. 

meth is a fuel source, not a method for improving lag that im aware of.

I use to run one 15-16 year ago no meth. From what I remembered the lag is not unbearable, slightly more than evo 16g for more top end. With high compression (9:1 and higher) engine and meth, this turbo would be a great street/road race car setup.

I am now running a 20g and quite like it.  Granted I am also running with 2g pistons in a 6  bolt so increase compression helps I'm sure.

EDIT:  I have noticed that my 20g starts to spool at 2600 RPM.  Not bad if you ask me.
