But keep in mind that 3500 rpms is where the car knocks you into your seat and wont let you up. Even leaving the line and doing say 20% throttle, I dont use the turbo at all and still end up 20 feet ahead of every other "normal" driver. The turbo is still spooling below 3500rpms, it just doesnt have the same power as above, but I have a very large turbo. You have to feel it to understand it because it is hard to put into words, but I have no streetability issues with having turbo lag until 3500, and in fact I would like an even bigger turbo. But my 2 liter i-4 has enough juice w/o the turbo to get itself around just fine, and the only times its even an issue is right off the line, and I enjoy actually going slower than I could and "pimping" it around.
