Well, so far, it's been interesting. As per my post regarding the VAG log
Basically, it brings up the powerband at the low and high end. Especially at the high end. My butt-dyno logs state that now the best shift point is at 6K RPM instead of 5K RPM, translating into much more acceleration.
Currently, I actually experience a funny phenomenon -- not sure if it's me or the car -- but basically when it hits 5K, it feels like a second power boost begins. I have a feeling it's just me expecting the lack of power and not getting it
Anyway, the peak power only feels a little higher. Really it's the extended range -- once the turbo kicks in, the car feels much more like a large NA one than a turbo charged one.
