I'm not pushing the red to its limits like I was the stock turbo. Sure, I gave up (delayed) some torque before 5252rpm, but afterwards it is pure gain.

For a daily driver, this is perfect... no part throttle torque spikes. If I want to go fast, I simply downshift and keep the car in its optimal power band (>4k).

 

AMS loves to tune conservatively. Looks like a 500RPM increase in lag and less torque but that should keep the stock bottom end happy.
