The VW Tuner that makes that clame is APR. Check out their web site. Turbo lag??? In time you learn to drive the car so that you don't have it as much, you'll learn the car.

The 1.8T has about the least lag of any turbo car out there.



It was designed to have the driving characteristics of a V6.
