Turbo Lag when shifting...

Have you recently gone from Stock to StageII? If your car isn't throwing codes, it could be placebo if you were expecting something different.

Honestly, just talk with APR. Without having another member ride along with you, it could be anything...

when i shift very fast it seems that the next gear i'm in spends about 2k rpm out of boost. Say i floor it in second, and shift to third around 6k fast, 3rd gear will gain speed but its obvious the turbo doesnt kick in for the first few thousand rpms that I'm in third.. I don't get it.. are gti owners supposed to completely let of the pedal before shifting to fix this? will a BOV help?

You're not alone, I have exactly the same problem! I'm Stage-1 (6MT) with just a drop-in K&N air filter.

Does it happen throughout all gears? If it's just the lower gears then I would go with traction control as well.

1-2, 2-3, 3-4

It does the same thing with traction control off
