(repeats a lot of stuff from above but needed to get point across i think)

Ever drag raced a turbo car? 25 psi in less than 10 feet isn't what I call lag. When the engine is under that kind of load, turbos spool REAL fast. Not only that, but with a 2 step rev limiter you'll be making boost before you move. Pick the turbo size accordingly and spool/lag won't be much of an issue unless you lug it off the line... With stock exhaust (except for a straight pipe in place of the cat) my EVO will make 20psi at 2800 RPMs.

Btw, I don't think Chris Anderson minds his twin turbo Mustang at all http://www.ahpproducts.com/id23.html.

I don't think these guys agree with you either - http://www.turbomustangs.com
