People need to know the difference,

next time, they say that the 1.4T has lag, send them this video

We have a high boost thresh hold, but once it reaches the thresh hold it spools up fast.



EDUCATED THE S.H.I.T out of them

What most people perceive as turbo lag is actually turbo threshold. Countless magazine review articles have referenced this point by doing a drag race with the cars in 6th gear. Silly, in my opinion.

Yeah once on it there is a very fast respool. Threshold feels around 2.5k but even at 2k in 6th in can't complain about the pull.

I notice things like the golf GTi etc have peak torque from 1750rpm which indicates a VERY low threshold...
