    Dyno test...Why do they not test 'transition' response?

    Why do dyno tests only test max power full throttle? I just came from the BRZ forums where they are falling over 300-500hp 2.0 boxer motors.....but it seems like a turbo THAT big would completely destroy the character and NA 'racecar'ness of the BRZ/FRS. Looking at the dyno charts got me thinking...why are transitions not tested on dynos? Ie, hold steady at 3500rpms then full throttle. Let the dyno show the lag. It would probably need an input to know WHEN full throttle was requested though. It could also be, hold at 4k, let off the gas for a moment, then full throttle.

    My point is that to me, the FRS/BRZ, while lacking power, would loose a lot of what the point of the car is if you have to deal with turbo lag.

    My MKV GTI isn't bad...but if I do any of the above tests, the engine falls apart and I am left waiting. Doesn't seem good for track use.

    Anyone have an explanation or thoughts?

    there is a lot of development in turbo technology right now. i doubt 300whp has any noticeable lag. 500whp sure, but even where you feel the lag you have a considerable more horsepower over stock.
