Default Turbo lag

The only modification I want for my 966TT is to reduce Turbo Lag. I am totally satisfied with HP's and the compromise between comfort and stiffness suits me fine. I have posted this topic in the 996TT Area and it seems that the possibilities have been reduced to :

1) Changing the exhaust ( Europipe or Fabspeed ) and

2) adding a boost controller. I am concerned with the possible consequences in engine reliability of this last solution .

Any advise ?

Here is what has been discussed there: https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...5&pagenumber=2

Install a dump valve; at off throttle the valve will keep the turbo spooled up. better yet install a SC

Boost controller, stiffer wastegate spring, reduce back pressure.

Toddk911,

What about the possible consequences in engine reliability ?
Should this be the solution: Why Porsche would have not undertake it ? ( are we talking about technical solutions that existed already when Porsche designed the car ?)

That said, I would be very happy if this is the solution.
