Cliff Notes, big turbo with stock DP spools slower, APR's tunes are never very aggressive (compounding slower spool), don't use this turbo unless you have no other option due to emissions. Thank you for coming to my TED talk?

How old is your dad?

I'm in my 30's and my knees/back can't deal with crotch rockets for longer than a half hour anymore.

Early 50s. I don't think he's riding for very long at a time either lol. He sold his c6 grand sport convertible because it was just sitting in the garage for weeks at a time and I think he decided to get the bike out of boredom lol

My dad is 68 and rides his R3 on some trips that take a few hours. Not sure how long he's on it without stopping between coffee and cigarette stops haha.

Thank you for your help, that was exactly the reaponse I was looking for. You want me to sift through 296 pages of off topic bullshit and dick measuring contests? Have you read a singe page in this thread? I read the entire thing. I've made some notes with some contradicting points between users but largely it was a waste of time. You're telling me you'd disagree? Why is your natural response to be a dick I really don't get it lmfao

Long story short for a GTI:
From a dig, it’s about on par with stage 1 for 0-60
30+ rolls are where it shows up.

A bit more controlled in day to day city driving, you can still get after it and whip it around, but lacks that rubber band surge at 2.5k that the IS20 hits.

If you’re already Stage 2+, consider your options and whether or not you’re married to that AM downpipe.
