Sorry for the delay in responding. I have been trying to get home all night. I can never make it away from a set of traffic lights. The amount of lag makes it undriveable.

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Exactly
Glad you're starting to understand
Sure, the R has less lag than lots of other cars out there.
But as I said, anyone who claims that it responds in the same way as a K03 has no credibility. Full stop.Comment

Our R responds better than my GTI so Corey is correct, it does respond differently8VSS2L/16 E9E9 XG MP SPP1 4ZD 6XK CSC5P with an extra free 10kWComment

It's the everyday road driving that really matters. I wish my 90TSI had AWD like my other car. It gives forward motion when driving on wet sealed roads or on any dirt roads especially hill starts and sharp uphill bends. And where I live and travel there are plenty.Originally posted by Corey_R View PostNov '15 Polo 81TSI manual whiteComment

A different opinion to his may be just as valid?

You're allowed a different opinion. You just can't claim that the R is "lag free" in comparison to a GTI, or has the torque and power in the same RPM regions - cause it doesn't. Not my opinion. Fact. Look at the VW specs. Look at the K03 & K04 specs. Look at the dynos.
If you want to argue that all those companies and their specs are wrong, well then, you go from having a "differing opinion" to just being delusional.
It's one thing to love your R and hold it above all else. But when you try to argue that reality is not correct, well, that's the definition of delusional...

Everyone is agreed that the K03 and the K04 are different turbos with different characteristics. Just as they were on the 8L S3 and the MkIV GTI.
But I to make out that the K04 (which is a small turbo in the scheme of things) is some kind of hideous lag mosnter is laughable.Audi S3. Sold

You're the only one making that out Ideo. In your sig, in many of your posts.
I have never stated that, only that it's torque comes in at a different range in the RPMs, which is fact, not an opinion. Deal with it.Comment

Anyway, this thread has run its course. As other have posted, and as I have said in the first reply, this thread is the same as the R vs GTI thread. So if you actually care about the topic, you can continue the endless discussion there:
