    Not really, it depends on how big the turbo is and how much exhaust pressure there is, even in high end cars such as Porsches turbo lag is still noticeable. But that's not the point, the turbo in his car is by no means new anyway. And that's what I meant when I said drivetrain, the drivetrain is everything (engine, clutch, tranny, drive shaft, differential, etc) that the power goes through.

    E: And I'd also like to know where you got the figure of 300whp Kalub? Most AWD systems I've seen have had AT LEAST a 50hp loss through the drivetrain, so you think your car will be producing over 350hp at the crank? How much boost are the turbos stock?
