I delayed in posting my findings, so that I could assess the car over a period of several days in case any other symptoms or issues became apparent. So far, nothing untoward has happened, and I have now covered 1100 miles since the fix
I'm a tad confused... i have had lag since new (took me a little bit to figure out it was real as i kept telling myself there couldn't be turbo lag). Are you saying that 31.1 + accurately calibrated wastegate linkages fixes the problem, or that simply accurately calibrated linkages fixes the problem regardless of progman version? Either way, I want the fix bad... I've been living lag 5 months now.
