No, manual.
It's not bad. Just at very low revs. The stock engine is strong in the mid range, which makes it more noticeable.

I think I might have caused some confusion with my earlier comments. The comment about turbo lag was on the stock 140ps engine.
I'm very happy with the 1.4 when it's got the box on. My only reason for regret is that it pushes my insurance up more than if I had an S3.

I found that map 2 would occasionally cause an emissions warning and instant limp mode (only when flooring it to the red line). Restarting the engine would clear it and there was nothing left in the OBD logs.
So I switched to map 1 at +3. Plenty of oomph and not a single warning since [emoji3]
My box is in front of the battery, strapped to the wash bottle filler pipe. Cables pass under intake ducting so might touch warm metal, but nothing as hot as the turbo. Not seen any signs of heat damage and they are away from any moving parts.

There's been a few changes to the lineup since I ordered. My 1.4 is 140ps stock. It's fairly torquey for a petrol and adequate for town driving although sometimes the turbo lag can catch you out. The current 1.4 is 150ps so should be quite good for 30/40/50 limit areas.
