That first sentence is what confused me, but I think I see what you're saying. Since it is more efficient at bleeding off excess exhaust gases, it doesn't need to start doing so as early as stock, so more exhaust gas mass and velocity get to the turbo sooner, creating quicker spool than stock..? Or am I still missing it? Feel free to move this to somewhere other than Grimmspeed's thread, but I figured the clarification would give them a free bump, and kind of a free advertisement
