The fact that it is much lighter should have something to do with it

My brother's MkIV GTI 1.8T (2003) is MUCH faster feeling than my A4 1.8T. Then again it was 3 years newer than mine. I do think the turbo on my car is on the edge of death though.

nope no problems with the splitter...
007 is a really good DV though, so unless you really really want the pssht sound dont get it...
