    I am used to tuned cars which required 80% or more throttle position to push the turbo to over the wastegate spring pressure.

    I can imagine that lots of people like the engine response with minimal throttle inputs but this is borderline stupid.

    Yes I have good road tyres, ps4 michelins.

    I have emailed apr...Ill be surprised if they reply. Does anyone have experience with the issue or can recommend another stage 2 tune with better throttle input modulation?

    Thanks.
    If you don't have one already, a mechanical limited slip diff will help driveability a lot in the dry for FWD cars running over 170kW. Much better than the ESP bulls#^t the golf has. In the wet you basically have to drive a gear higher or get a different map.

    Yes good point, I have put in a single mass hd clutch from extreme and a mfactory helical diff last month...made a very positive. Now the extra vibrations in the drivetrain/engine bay at 2000rpm are keeping me busy hunting down each possible vibration.
