Its kinda like when you have an MBC installed, if you slightly push the pedal to get going it will boost like all hell even if your not pushing the pedal that hard. But if you baby it around just resting your foot on the gas, it won't develop any boost. It just takes a little while to get used to because the k03 and k04 spools so damn fast. So it can kinda feel like the turbo is hard to control VS a large frame turbo like a garrett T3/T4.

put a EBC on it and you will be able to control the turbo way more and you can set two boost styles if you like.

Yep that would be the one and Greddy Profec B II is what I use but there are others which I'm sure some one will chip in with.
