Simple question folks. I expect some lag before 2000 rpms but my question is, is it normal to have a moment of lag when you drop you foot at any rpm

yes, it is normal. the turbo has to spool...Why is this in the power enhancements forum?

See my video thread titled "stock car track" - shows how bad my lag is at times. Hoping it will be mapped out when I get tuned up again next week :D

Joevat, you already had that turbo pushing 6 psi of boost. So the engine was under some decent load to begin with. If you do the same thing from no load you will have more lag.
