    A compressor map tells you all that info. What turbo are you running? What's the AR? Typically the higher the AR the longer it will take to get into boost.
    I have a PT-61 that came with the ct kit. With the catback off it starts to build boost at 2600 RPMs. With the exhaust on it's about 3K RPMs when it starts building.
