I'm surprised a car could even potentially "adapt" out this lag, since it's caused by a physical change in the programming of the duty cycles of the wastegates. Having them open more of the time equates to longer boost build time.
sorry but i am joining this thread late: hope this is not a repeat...

i just tell my dealer that i DO NOT WANT ANY UPDATES BECAUSE OF ........

but why is bmw doing this ??
are our tubos really that delicate they they have to piss people off with 29.2 ??

my 2 cents
