I had an d wrote about the same type of response for a NA. Better response, smoother and more predictable shifts, better throughout the powerband etc. Also in my experience it unleashed the inner beast in tbe high rpm's. I wrote about this in a thread last summer. Love the results and other than putting on a better CAI that's all I' planing on doing. I'm happy with the performance of the car and want to maintain the overall driving performance.
