    No, it's just the very different ways that superchargers and turbos work, and that the purpose/function of a supercharger bypass valve is very different than a turbo wastegate. A wastegate will never cause a sudden change in power delivery like a supercharger bypass valve can.

    Hard accelerations are actually smooth for me. It's the part throttle light/moderate acceleration where the problem happens. Also, the tune requires minimum 91 octane, and I'm running 93 octane (91 isn't very common around here).
