Turbo lag decreased huge amounts. The onset of power is a lot faster.
Boost increased from (measured by my Autometer gauge
) 13~14 to 17~18 psi. Butt dyno is like OMG WTF!.
The fly-by-wire curve for the gas input was changed to mimic a throttle cable, by my request. And its more than awesome.
Thanks Shiggy and the AHQ crew!!!!!

Hey Bryan,
Per my thread on here, when I take my car in for the oil change, can you keep an eye out for the oil burning?
Thanks see you Tuesday!
