How laggy are k24/18g's compared to bone stock?
My bone stock setup seems to boost at 3000 rpms, how do the 24/18's compare? Mine are the billets. How do they compare with supporting mods such as boost pippes?

I haven't thrown on boost pipes, but K24/18 versus stock K16, huge difference in spool time.
I hardly feel the K16's come on, but they come on early 2800rpm or so. I get my boost on the K24/18g around 3400rpm, but when it hits around 4k, it just pulls and pulls. I do have an IPD plenum, but that doesn't make any difference at my power level. I plan to go with boost pipes soon and expect to pick up 200rpm in spool time. |
Go for 16/Billets. Great power and very minimal lag.

Sam is right.... :)

I'm looking for more spool at the same power level as the k24/18's OP. I'll end up with some Alpha A28's sooner or later. The k24/18 is still a bit too laggy IMO.

Hi,You said you are stock but then you said you have billet ones?
A good tune and a GOOD 100 cell cat or catless exhaust will make a big difference in quicker spool..Been there done that.. Once you have the right K24/18 combo , you will never look back to a stock K16 ,no tune,set-up.. |
I have not put my 18s on yet and am second guessing myself.

if you feel lag = you are in the wrong gear hilarious |
I sold these to you in the spring. Put them on already. Trust me a tad more lag a lot more fun up top.
|
No lag. Great setup. Do it you'll be glad you did. Get some inlet pipes and cat less exhaust and they spool just fine.
|
Plan is to put them in this winter along with a few other things. Just concerned that they might be too laggy, so considering my options.

When I bought my car it had K16s with a flash. Then I threw on 18gs. The difference, as I remember, is about one potato, two potato literally. The power difference was night and day.
