This comes down to a number of factors, but common reasons for an increase in turbo lag can be: An exhaust leak. If there is an exhaust leak before the turbo (e.g. In the exhaust headers) there will be less exhaust gas to spool the engine, leading to increased turbo lag. A boost leak.
What RPM do turbos kick in?
A turbo spins very fast; most peak between 80,000 and 200,000 RPM (using low inertia turbos, 000 RPM) depending on size, weight of the rotating parts, boost pressure developed and compressor design.
Are Turbos always on?
Simple answer is yes. Turbos work at idle and at a predetermined rpm, they produce enough air flow to overcome the vacuum of the engine, thus producing ‘boost’. This is usually referd to as spooling up the turbo. A turbo is an addition to automobiles to increase the horsepower of the engine.

Why do turbos whine?
WHINING ENGINE One of the unexpected advantages of a turbocharger is that it actually makes the engine quieter because it muffles the sound of air intake. However, if you start to hear a loud, whining noise – a bit like a dentist’s drill or police siren – it’s a potential symptom of turbo failure.
Do new turbos need to be broken?
turbo’s have bearings(or similar) and just like new bearings in a motor, they need no break in. Bearings are not supposed to wear(or you would be in trouble) oil rides between them and the other surface. That’s a good way to be safe, you DON’T want thet feed line to be obstructed.
