$217 AU straight from the Tactrix site to your door.
Bought one a couple of weeks ago along with a $100 netbook from Ebay... good little investment.

alexeiwoody kindly let me use his Tactrix, and we found the tune is a bit of a mess. The AVCS table in particular seems to have an even bigger blue patch than standard, which might go some way to explaining the apparent 'lag.' Also issues with DBW and boost control. Biggest concern is that Learning View reported it's pulling 4 degrees (!) for knock at about 6000rpm. We could even hear something which sounded like pinging, so won't be revving it out again until I can manage a tune
I also cleaned the MAF sensor as advised by bigBADbenny, and it now idles more smoothly and a slight shudder/hesitation on very light throttle has now disappeared thankfully (glad that wasn't the auto!). No change to behaviour further up the rev range though.
Finally I discovered that the turbo is stock housing with VF30 internals, which I guess might make it spool a little later, but still believe tune is the main problem.

Local tuner using dyno would be my first choice, but I'm studying at the moment and have baby at home (not to mention $1000 in bloody rego and insurance due soon), so funds may not stretch to that. Remote tuners others have used seem like they could achieve 80-90% of same result, but I wasn't aware of how many revisions are usually required, and I can't afford to lose my licence (or detonate the motor!) doing multiple 3rd gear pulls. Bit of a quandary.
