Wondering if anybody has purchased this yet.If so does it help with the lag or does it just make it a bit faster. If nobody has I guess I'll be that guinea pig to get it. I'm hoping by getting this the lag we experience will go away.

Hey,

I've heard its pretty similar to the Apexi one but if you want the Toms specific one we can work something out for you!

I'll pm you

 

I remember I did notice a slight difference...but now I'm used to it..I guess Ill need to go heads up with some....=)

 

I put the Tom's boost box on my car like 3 month after getting my LS5 and boy I'm so happy the turbo lagg is gone the boost pressure gauge flys right up no Lagg whatsoever major difference from stock worth every penny and it wasnt even that expensive of a mod for that much gain I also did apexi Axle back when i did the Tom's boost I'm loving it i just ordered full lexon body kit coming soon next week maybe and ima post it up

 

Just curious, did the box help with the delay in acceleration after a quick stop? What I mean is that if you come to a brief stop, for example at a stop sign with no other traffic, or before turning right on red, there is a definite lag in acceleration that isn't there when you stop for more than about 2 seconds. It seems like it's programmed that way by design, so I'm just wondering of the Tom's box also eliminates that. Thanks.

 

man I cant fathom to tell you how much of a difference it is. the lagg your experiencing is definately turbo lagg I had driven the LS for a few months before I did the Tom's boost box so I immediately notice the difference.i drive on sport + manual mode and only thing I notice is there is a slight lagg when shifting, but it's very slight doesnt bother me too much the car is tank and it takes off very fast with that Tom's box. I remember prior to the box I would pedal to the metal and it would build up speed very slow you can feel those turbos spool up and the boost would kick in but with Tom's it's always there and very torquey feeling a whole different animal.

 

This is toms boost box, Talking about the throttle controller. I ordered mine should be here next week.

 

I question whether it's turbo lag or not. It doesn't happen if you stop for more than 2 seconds. Only during quick stops, or even when you don't stop at all but hard-break then step on the gas immediately. I would think that if it were turbo lag, it would happen even after sitting at a stoplight for 30 seconds.

 

I know exactly what your talking about as the boost helps with some of the turbo lag the rest is the drive by wire, that's why I just said might as well just get the throttle controller to help with that. If this works I will let you all know, my main hope is it gets rid of the delay when you floor it.

 

By all means, let us know if it helps.

 

Im running the apexi throttle controller on my LS with the Tom's Power Box.

 

Is response way better or no different, as in no more lag.
