Default People with GIAC-X, did it take you a while to FEEL the power? Seems my Upsolute was quicker BUT,

it also took two days for the car to make the serious power... I thought GIAC X would have been noticeably faster, but it actually seems slower...

I had my Upsolute tweaked with Lemmi for 93 octane but am also using 91 with X right now due to 93 octane cold start issues...

Default Yeah, I did... The more I drive it though, the more powerful it feels it seems.

Does it have to learn as I drive?

Default yea..that's a load (of boost). Doubtful a K03 is capable of < 10psi @ redline

I've got APR programming w/Test Pipe and NEVER see above 9psi at 6500rpm (and that's STILL above the "requested" boost). The numbers I'm getting are through VagCom logging software...which for whatever reason I trust more than a boost gauge which can bounce around a bit. Before the APR bashers come out of the woodwork...my car isn't exactly slow compared to other K03 cars on the CAPS list. IIRC my quickest on 93 was 7.22 or something with APR Stage 1 + Test Pipe.

The transverse 1.8Ts work differently than longitudinal.
