Anyone had the "shift bog" on a stock or tuned 1M ?

Hello,

Not sure if you are aware of this "shift bog" occurring on manual transmission N54 cars. It's like after a shift (usually 3-4 shift), the boost builds very slowly and the car loses power for like 1 second before the boost begins building again.

It does not occur everytime, however.

It seems to be a transmission protection of some sort, the ECU orders the target boost to rise slowly instead of rapidly after certain gear shifts. So it's not boost lag, it's what the ECU really wants.

My question is, has anyone with an 1M ever felt this when shifting fast between 3rd and 4th ?
