cpu when and where does this "lag" give you the most problem. Then maybe an answer can be tailored more to your specific needs in driving your car.
As for me at the track I have a hard time noticing any lag.
I do have a LWFW and no cats or exhaust, which certainly make may car spool and accelerate faster?

Okay, I asked a similar header question a few weeks ago. Are we saying that a car with k16/24 turbos with out headers makes as much power respectfully as a k24 car with headers to account for the lag?

Hmmm... Not sure what you mean. Anyhow car is say at 3200rpm I stab the gas, play with the radio, Call my wife, and cenck my voicemail and bang I have boost It is horribly laggy. If I can keep the RPMs way up around 5k it's not so bad. So no cats, headers and highflow exhaust may help the issue alot or a little?

Time for some exhaust!!!!!!!!!

Those suckers are laggy and you do get back a couple of hundred RPMs of lag which is nice. The dynos show no loss in torque down low (if they were longer tube then they would loose) and from the mid-to-top end a decent 20-30hp gain on a stage IV.
It wasn't so many years ago that most of the board was laughing at me saying headers didn't produce power Ported stock headers were the rage.
It took awhile for most to realize that if they didn't have a certain amount of power to start with, they just wouldn't understand. My how perceptions have changed.

Sorry guys, quick question about headers, if I do install the headers, do I need to reprogram the ECU to stage 4?.. Is that neccessary? Thanks!

oh if that's the case, that is good news since my car came with the x50 package running the k24s when i flashed it... again thanks for the reply sharky and this is indeed amazing news!.. I guess the $500 will be spent towards other upgrades now!.. yay!

Hey Ryan, no worries! Nab some headers from any of us guys since the prices are pretty low right now and maybe the modified waste gates and you'll be set. If you have access to 100 octane you might want to get the upgraded file for that too!

i just got a pair of k24s
and thinking when i replace the turbos mine is well replace the headers with a pair i found online.$799 buy it now
Are they good?
