I feel slow speeds, such as backing up or parking lot maneuvers, are easier, because instead of raising revs (or waiting for revs to rise) and slipping the clutch afterwards, clutch release can be initiated a split second before actuating the accelerator pedal. The same holds true for starts on an incline and there are fewer tendencies to bog. There may be a 10 minute learning curve when first installed to avoid chirping the tires or ASC intrusions but even that’s fun to experience, however it’s nothing like learning to drive a stick for the first time. I notice the BPV on my
MCS operating more abruptly but I guess it’s because the motor is quicker to enter and fall out of boost; 1st to 2nd gear can be a little jerky some time, but I’m working on that. It takes time to let go of lazy shift habits before gear changes smooth out.
These improvements are not solely beneficial at normal street speeds, the sensation of acceleration when you can go WOT through the gears is exhilarating; tight, demanding sections of road reveal throttle preciseness that is greatly appreciated. In my opinion there is greater control, not less control, when rev matching is needed.
