JP,
They claim the boost kicks in at 2500 rpm, so I don't think lag would be a problem.
Ohio,
Sounds like you got quite a deal, plus the fact you did your own install
Todd,
Looks like this kit includes the intercooler...
They bring up a good point, Porsche has chosen to add turbochargers to some of their models, but not superchargers :
No forced-air performance application is truly complete without an intercooler. The TurboWerx upgrade kit includes an air-to-air intercooler for not only the safest possible operation, but additional hp. Not only just more horsepower - but just plain smart.
Thanks to the custom ECU programming, the intercooler and an extremely efficient turbocharger, the upgrade boasts a full 6 psi of boost pressure. The system is so efficient, that full boost is achieved at less than 2500 RPM. These performance levels are simply not achievable without taking a systemic approach to the design. The end result is a upgrade package unmatched in performance, reliability, and cost.
Performance and versatility. These are two reasons no others can match the power and boost level of TurboWerx Twin Turbo Upgrades. Using efficient turbochargers and intercooling safely allows 20-50% more boost than supercharging systems can provide - 6 psi vs 4-5psi. For certain applications, such as racing, TurboWerx systems can very easily increase the boost level for even higher performance. On the track or the street, turbochargers are the best choice. And no wonder turbochargers are what Porsche® engineers always chose.
