Thanx.

Very interesting..  I've heard it said that anything below at least 1bar is not gonna give that kick which people come to expect from a turbo charged car.

I don't understand why manufacturers don't crank it up as standard?

They're givin turbos a bad name!?

yeah i know what your sayin !!!!, ive had many a 'turbo' car i was a full on turbo rush boy in the early 90's!!! loads of lag then a big fookin kick up the arse!!!!, they dont seem to do it like that now!!, smaller turbos and less lag half the time you dont even know youve got a blower on there !!! un less remapped/chipped etc!!!, i always used to run bleed valves and crank em open a bit when i used to get bored!!, and if i had the turbo model golf id do the same!! have got a nice brass bleed valve sat in me shed now!!!,  :D :D :D
