<VV> Re: 65 vs 62 Turbo

[Eric S. Eberhard]

Query ... do you find the 62 comes onto boost sooner (e.g. has less 
lag).  I have had two 65s and now have a 62 and I find the 62 to have much 
less lag.  I get some boost in 1st, more in 2nd, and maximum in 3rd and 
4th.  On my 65s, nothing till 3rd.  The 62 seems more tractable and easier 
for daily driving and I really don't think it has any less performance than 
the 65s (it does have the advantage of no smog at all).  It may be that the 
smaller engine is better matched to the turbine size and exhaust size in 
the 62.  For the bigger engine they did not increase exhaust size although 
for 65+ the turbo is different.  Curious if you find the same.
