Turbo lag is the delay from when a driver steps on the accelerator until the extra power generated by the turbocharger arrives. A turbocharger is driven by exhaust gases, so there is a lag before a greater amount of exhaust gas causes a turbine wheel to draw more fresh air into the engine and generate more power. |

I believe the power from turbo chargers is produced at the exhaust, so there's a delay between when you hit the gas and when the car responds.... in my 50-60/60-70mph tests, I'd floor it and there was a pretty noticeable delay. The 228 and 428s have turbo charged 4 cylinder engines.

I think all lag I'd noticeable..some more than others..I have a turbo on my car and I can tell when it spools up..the amount of power and the acceleration jumps up quite a bit

I actually wasn't considering the 428, but they didn't have a 228 and they have the same engine (even though the 428 adds a couple hundred pounds). The turbo lag was definitely a lingering thought, but the main reasons I went with the 235 are that it wasn't that much more than the 228 once I built out each one, and I know I'll never regret it over the smaller engine. I first noticed it on the highway, and those jumps from ~60-70mph were the only time it was annoying to me.

No idea if I'll like the 428 or not, never drove one. This week I'll know.

I did not follow this strategy, which is why I'm getting a 235. ![]()

I got to keep it at $40K. I can go up a couple of thousands but not $10K. I still have a 11000 lb boat dock and lift that needs something parked on it other than a pontoon boat. ![]()

Turbo lag is the time before your turbo spools up and starts shoving air into your motor
Say your turbo spools up at 3800 rpm..from idle at around 700 rpm to 3800 rpm you will have lower power..as soon as the turbo spools up you get more power..the time before your turbo is the lag Does that make any sense |
