Based on this is looks like about 0.3 - 0.4 s of lag time. Thats much better than most of the turbo cars I have driven. The most telling part is the 2psi gain from 8.16 to 8.36 after wot.
It looks like it would be a nice roadcourse car. At most tracks the car will never fall below 5500rpm and on those occarions its for short, sharp turns where the turbins is unlikely to spin all the way down. How does the heatsoak / durability look for roadcourse use?
Based on the earlier dynos thought I don't think this would work well for autoX. In those cases a lot of time is spend 4-5k rpm with quick stabs of the throttle. The dyno doesn't show good power under 5k, combine this with the lag above and its doubtfull this would outperform a less powerfull but better midrang engine.
However, since we don't have an autoX place to play in with a turbo or SC its moot.
