RE: 0-60 WTF?! and Turbo… working or not?
turbo lag is not an issue with the k03. It starts to spool very early at about 2k rpms and hits full boost around 3k-3500rpms. If you know how a turbo operates, you cant ask for much more than that as far as minimal lag goes. That doesnt mean your car isnt slow though. Panda is right, your car is heavy and you only have 170hp. Plus you have automatic which means you cant launch, or bump the rpm's up to spool the turbo a little bit before you get going. On top of all that, you are DBW which is gunna give a slight delay in throtle response, which is most noticeable when going from a stop. Thats just how it is with a heavy, automatic, stock tuned/under tuned, DBW car. Get a chip.

I have heard of people holding the brake and hitting the gas lightly up to about 2500rpm then letting go of the brake and flooring it. I tried it once or twice. I never timed it. It didn't feel like I hit 60 faster but the car jumping sure did hurt my damn neck.

When professional drivers test 0-60 times in an automatic they brake boost the car. Try holding the brkes down as hard as possibleand hold the accelerator down enough to raise the rpms without the car inching forward and launch by letting off the brakes and punching the accelerator at the same time. This will raise the rpms giving you boost off the line.

eh... That will work, but dont get into the habit of doing it. Its not exaclty doing great things for your flex plate/tq converter when doing that. Not worth it imo

The other thread I suggested was discussing the difference between D and S automatic modes. So as requested, I won't ;-) So then… my understanding is the S mode revs higher before shifting. Does it do anything else, like downshift more aggressively? If I'm taking a windy-road tour, should I be in S mode? And WHY would the car get inferior 0-60 in S mode? This just seems bizarre to me.
Chip… yes… keep hearing that LOL. I'll do due diligence and research it before asking any dumb questions here. THEN I'll ask dumb questions ;-)
thanks again

DBW is drive by wire. It is an alternative way of giving your car throttle that is more electronic and less mechanised. It results in weaker throttle response. Look up drive by wire on google or something for more detailed info
