Well, either that or they've read a few dyno graphs on STS's site.
One given dyno:
3000 RPM: 2.5psi
4000 RPM: 10psi (full boost)
Those pounds show up on an exponential curve, as well. If that's not lag, then I'm not sure what is.
If you're a drag star, then I suppose that's all right. For autocross, that's a matter of self-hatred, though. After a ride in my car, my WRX pals bawl about waiting for full boost at 3000 RPM. 4000? Street Mod is giggling.
Don't kid yourself - this system has lag. Why would there be reverse manifolds on WRXi with front mount intercoolers if a short distance didn't matter?
