Slushbox performance is all about the TCU programming. Not trying to counter your statement at all, but just looking at what the Alpina TCU flash has done for those AT owners here is proof of that enough. Having driven a few of the new 4-bangers I agree they are quite lazy and wheezy in stock form but can see how they have the potential to be quite angry if tuned properly.
