05 Turbo Lag
Have had my 05 F350 4x4 cc for a month now. Does the turbo lag get better from a standing start? It reminds me of my old 97 before I put the banks in it. Seems to take forever to spool up?

I agree with the lag. My '05 seems to take about .5 to .75 seconds to go after I step on the peddel. All the way up to 1500 miles currently, and hoping this gets a bit better... maybe the EGR is broken, need to check that lil bugger since I hear others have helped the lag fiddeling with it.

10k so far and no it hasn't gotten ay better. I have repeatedly been told that some trucks have the lag and some don't but one thing I know for sure is the SCMT removes it (at least it did on my last truck). It was worth putting it in just for that if nothing else!
P.S. If you want to get a tuner look here first!

Well, a turbo will have SOME lag... it's the nature of the beast...
so when I REALLY want to ensure there is no lag...
the ole left foot on the brake and right on the accelerator up to about 1500 rpms (or 2000 if REALLY in a hurry) eliminates ANY turbo lag...
then there's always 4 wheel drive to eliinate the wheel spin @ 2200 rpms
Woo hooooooo !

Try taking off in tow-haul or seeing if your EGR solenoid plug has fell off. You'll lose a lot of that lag.

wink wink nudge nudge. I removed mine and it did help a lot. I don't really notice a turbo lag anymore. In some trucks the check engine light will come on but mostly those California trucks. Mine didn't come on but it is from Idaho.

Duh!, ok now I get it! I'm pretty sure that we have the same emmissions standards in BC as California, so I guess that indicates that I might get the check engine light. I will read the egr thread. Thanks guys!
