N/A cars need a bit of backpressure through the exhaust which also helps the engine braking effect when you come off the throttle. Turbo'd cars want as little backpressure as possible, so less engine braking effect. Also, although it's a small effect, if it's on-boost then there's a turbo lag when you come off the throttle as well as when you put it on. Noticeable in yours because it doesn't run a dump valve (which is where unwanted boost pressure would normally be released). Also that V6 in the old car would be a bit of a boat anchor <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> You will have to adjust your driving style a bit I'm sure, but once you get used to it it's hard to go back to a n/a car.Glad you're liking it tho fella, I can tell you I'm more than a little bit jealous!</blockquote>
