997 Gen 2 Turbo S lag
Discussion
Had a Gen1 and now an S, I know what you're speaking of, as the dealer it that *exact* thing on the test drive.
It takes longer than you might imagine to decide how many gears to drop, and then as you rightly say, all hell breaks loose.
In the two years since I've owned the car I have never witnessed the same thing. But then I have never decided I needed to go from 7th on a trailing throttle to max attack, who would?
In all circumstances the 997 tS is mental fast, and what you're describing isn't turbo lag at all but gearbox/ecu/wtf lag. Turbo lag on a Gen2 is improved over a Gen1 if anything, and a Gen1 has very little.

Thank you, I know but when you get a new car you play and then you think is that right, do you know what I mean.It takes longer than you might imagine to decide how many gears to drop, and then as you rightly say, all hell breaks loose.

Yes I adore the kick in the head acceleration and TBH its quite a different animal to drive to a normally aspirated car.
are you just putting your foot down i.e using kick down? If yes, it will be slower, if you "blip" the throttle just before you need that acceleration, it will jump maybe four gears (say 7th to 3rd), pull up the revs at the same speed and be ready to go, if you don't then put your foot down over the next so many seconds it will start moving up the gears again to 7th.

Driven a few 997 Gen 2 Turbo S now and earlier GEN1 is it me of do they suffer a bit of lag especially if driving at say 50 mph in 7th on a pdk, put your foot down hard and there seems a lag while the box jumps down 4 gears and the revs pick up then all hells lets loose, they really are an amazing car quite spectacular if not a total licence loser.
Just value opinions please. How do you keep the spin / revs right so there is no time lag
why do 50mph in 7th ?Just value opinions please. How do you keep the spin / revs right so there is no time lag
that's not turbo lag as per title is it !!!
put the car in 2nd at 50mph, flaw it and come back and post if you can feel turbo lag.
