What is the real world difference for a Taycan Turbo (J1)

[thefunkygibbon]

Tempted , but the lack of activity in this sub forum is a little concerning .

what is the main differences you're going to experience ?

is it going to make the kw/mile a lot worse?

what's the 0-60 when it's on?

I hear that you can request that the changes only take effect on a specific drive profile?

how much difference is the more aggressive regen part of it? can that be enabled on a specific profile or is that a global change?

im sure I'll have more questions but is there any review videos or anything out there? I've tried to search but most I'm seeing are for the 4s or rwd, not turbo.

is it worth the money?

You get a 1 second improved 60-130mph time which is a huge. Its also faster than the stock Turbo S from a roll with that metric.

You can get the snappier throttle response as well.

I have the Audi version on the Turbo on the RS E-Tron GT.
It's night and day from stock. It's wel worth an upgrade

wow, so its 3.2s > 2.2s 0-60 on a turbo? thats pretty crazy!
i'm tempted but its pretty $$$ (especially since i bet there is a lot of shipping cost to here in the uk). wondering if there is any discount codes ;-)

The 60-130mph, not the 0-60mph. There isn't much improvement on the 0-60mph.

The car is a bit sluggish when not in launch control, but upgrading it changes that

ah I got a bit excited there. hmm if there isn't a huge amount of different in the lower speeds I might not get a huge amount out of it. one to think out a bit more then I think

You will feel a big difference at lower speeds, just more benefit at higher.
At 30mph, you hit the throttle and you're stuck to your seat, especially with the drivability adaption adjustment to give you better response

is that the "Unfiltered Throttle Response optional tweak?

Yes. Even if you don't get it unfiltered, you will still feel the difffernce, but the unfiltered will give it that extra kick

How long have you been driving your Turbo? Each to their own, but in 3 years so far with my Turbo I've never felt it needed more go (even on track).

about a month and a bit. I'm a bit OCD when it comes to tech and cars and "hacking them" to make them do things they shouldn't. every car I've owned I've tuned if it was possible (not so much on the NA card tbh). but yeah I'm still on the fence with these, it's a lot of money and potential for OPC to tell me to piss off if a battery issue arises.

What's the impact on insurance?
