Default take off question!

In my 2002, when I take off fast or push it to the floor to take off it like holds back a lil bit like it is not wanting to move and THEN takes off....first though it was my tranny but i got it rebuilt and still does it so could it be my rear end? or is this suppost to happen?

Do you think it could be the boost building?

sounds like your dealing with turbo lag. Try building boost and launching at 1800-2000 rpms and see if it's any different.

turbo lag. . .

also what RPM's are you running when you punch it. . .for me anything below 1800 and I have terrable lag. . .above that and boost builds as fast as I can push the throttle down.

well theres your problem. . .


you just have to remember you cannot just stab the throttle on a diesel. . .you have to roll into it.

also if your doing boosted launches, start with 10 psi. . .15 tops. and you would be amazed how well a larger turbo moves air just as well as twins.
