    There is no way that you could possibly get any turbo lag on the stock turbo. Are you sure thats what is happening? The stock turbos usually spool real low in the RPM range and run out of breath in the higher rpm range.

    Turbo lag...on a stock turbo...in a VW?!


    That's pretty much...impossible. Those things spool up with a slight touch of the gas

    FUCK GRAN TURISMO EAST!! NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR THERE, ESPECIALLY NOT FOR AN ALIGNMENT!! TERRIBLE BUSINESS!!
