Is there any way to make a turbo more efficent at lower RPM's?
Just like it says, I see how low some used turbo kits are and am reading up more, but most of the info I see is for peak power etc. What I would like to find out more about is what kind of setup for daily driving/city driving at lower RPM's, like 4000 and below. Would you just run a smaller turbo?
And to get the low RPM response, is it possible to run a twin charge setup?

larger diameter downpipe/exhaust
equal length manifold
ball bearing turbo
Smaller charge piping (which may be a tradeoff for high rpm power)

I never heard of this before? Could you explain a little more...this is my first foray into FI applications

Anti-lag is not for street cars. It will kill turbos and manifolds within a couple thousand miles, that's why only racecars and ***-faces have it. what it does it inject fuel into the exhaust manifold when the throttle is closed so that it burns and keeps the turbo spinning. It is also mainly used on cars with NO BOV or DV.
A 2 step just cuts ignition timing, allowing you to be at full-throttle (minimum air restriction) without over-revving when the car is out of gear.

Okay so is it possible to run a twin charge system? SC and Turbo? on a SOHC...physically it should work...

Sure it's possible. Practical? About as practical as a pet Hippo in New York City. Trust me, it's not that bad.
