which is probably a throttle response thing

@ norrrrwest rumbla
im not arguing against the use of a fmic, i'm just commenting on the response
as for being a no brainer, i think if it was, there wouldn't be so many people asking for advice on the subject
Youve driven the same car back to back with a tmic, then fitted with a fmic immediately after?

For the sake of the most obvious, I am going to say no.

Lag is the time it takes for a turbo to produce positive boost pressure.

Throttle response is an entirely different thing.

People hear some forum guy spout "lag" and then take it as truth.

redlib has a good piece of advice - do a rear diff at the least if you can - will transform the car.
