Turbo Lag

Any ideas on what to look for, I'm gettiing 12lbs of boost when it spools up around 250 rpms, as far as i can tell the second turbo may have issues, also
i beleive my idel is low around 600rpms.

Thanks,
Mark

You mean 12 lbs by 2500? That sounds pretty fast to me. Have you tried manually shifting it? Start in 1, and I think the automatic has some kind of button to make sure it stays in the gear you put it. If the turbo transition points are the same as a manual then you should see 10 psi pretty fast then a dip to 8psi around 4300 and then 10 psi again from 4500 all the way to redline.

Transmission/ Turbo lag

I've just driven it, what I'm trying to say is it just begins to spool up at 2500
with full boost @ 3500 to 4000. From 0 to 2500 its slow. The second turbo
dosen't seem to be right it dose not come back to 10 I'm not getting that second kick, Someone told me that some line comes loose from this turbo
offten, has anyone heard this, and is getting under the car the way to check for this ?
