In my personal experience, a 40whp gain in a turbo'd car feels 10x more significant than a 40whp gain in an NA car. Even if both end up making the cars equally fast.

I'm not very experienced with turbo cars, but this is probably because when making additional power in turbo cars tuners usually turn up the boost even more in the lower revs and make substantial gains throughout the powerband.

Im coming from a built 06 sti that made 410whp and had some pretty serious turbo lag. I love how the isf has instant throttle response and power. I am looking forward to headers and exhaust as well

Im so use to a 550WHP NSX and also riding my bike to the track. I dont feel my F is that fast, but its perfect for my DD with PPE+Borla.
