i guess what im lookin for is, what is actually causing the turbo to spool up? is the pressure only? how does heat help it? is it due to the expansion of air from the extreme heat that causes more pressure?

I think a little bit of smoke is neccesary to light the charger even stock ones smoke a little bit but they also have terrible turbo lag from the factory.

It is less of a problem on the VVT trucks cause the exhaust housing gets smaller to be able to light the charger with less fuel
