Hello.
I recently bought a Type-R rev meter, and I bought it, noticed that quite a lazy pointer. :(
Rev Burner v2 USB Board use.
Video about it:

If I reset the lamp switch 7800 turns, and boost the engine, the transmission light comes on much earlier, as it reaches a turning point in the index. This can be seen in the second video. Thus, the slow indicators. :(
I do not understand what's wrong ...
I hope someone can advise me. :)

Hello.
You are doing nothing wrong.
TYPE-R rev counters sometimes are not very reliable.
I bought a couple in two different moments. The first worked fine, the second one didn't reach the end of the scale and was quite slow, as yours.
They are cheap, work most of the time but sometimes they are not very accurate.

Already whole I got used to it so, really well rare if from idle speed the man psyches it up totally, some that good this like this.:)
I took a liking to it since then very much already. :)

Hi
I have used a few of these rev counters. The problem is that the dampening springs can vary a little in tension/strength, causing the needle to move a little slower than might be liked. However, a lesser dampened needle will 'waver' and wobble too much!
The only real soloution is to use a MUCH more exspensive Tachometer, but in actual use the Type R is fine and has proved to be reliable also. Its only really noticable in when free revving the engine in neutral, when accelerating in gear, the revs rise slower, giving the needle more time to move :) They often improve with use also as the springs 'ease' a little too.
Hope that helps :)
