That is absolutely true. I coupled my TE-61 with a Precision 3000 and always felt it exhibited too much lag. Once it kicked in it was gangbusters, but I didn't like the discernable lag. The next TC will be 3200-3500 range.
Great Turbo!! I used the TA62. Same turbo just stock appearance. I was running a 9.5 non-lock 3200-3300 stall. Fast spoolup great street manners with my converter.
