Do they fix the horrible apparent Drop in power before more power is delivered - dont think its the turbo lag

I haven’t got that in my car. There is turbo lag as you’ll probably have in any turbo car but it’s not bad. Throttle response is good in mine. It’s always been good so maybe something amiss in yours? Or you’ve been used to some other car? Hard to know without driving yours.
I’ve got the TFB Diverter valve in mine which definitely holds boost far better than the stock item. And it also cured the intermittent “sticking”. Which a new stock one would have done regardless. But the difference in n acceleration through the gears is noticeable (at first) compared to stock. I’ve got the pug1off lightened crank pulley on mine as well which sharpened things up a bit as well. None of these are huge performance gains but they’ve made an already good driving car a little bit better.

Hi, mine seems to respond better to a mid throttle re-application of power than flooring it - that seems to drop power slightly then apply at a lower thrust than a mid throttle!

Re Pug1, they never responded to my detailed inquiry suggesting there may be a number of UK RCZ owners who would b interested in a suspension set up better suited to masking the three trillion potholes the government have inflicted on us - even offered my car for development...
