Lag on 18g as you increase boost?
Sorry, I am new to boost but I am learning.
I know the 18g turbo is small but it spools very quickly. If you increase the psi, will it take longer to spool? I am asking this question because I wanted to know if I boosted about 12psi, would I experience considerably more lag than 8psi?
Is lag based off of the turbo or how much psi you are running. I know that the bigger the turbo, the bigger the lag. But is there big lag for small turbo and high psi (12-14psi)???
Thanks.

Lag will increase if you run higher boost... Depending on the size of the turbo, you might not notice the increased lag though.
It will take the same turbo longer time to wind up to 18 psi then say 10 psi.
