Isn't that why the Mitsi came with twin turbos--each one is rigged up to
boost at different rpm's (one for lower, the other for higher)--to fight
turbo lag? I don't know if that's how it worked or not, but I know
that's one of the advantages of having twin turbos--fighting lag.
Otherwise, you're right . . . you wouldn't want a single turbo in
conjunction with a five speed. Man Jon, you sure think of some crazy
s&#%. Gotta love it.
