There are mentions of the overboost being initiated by "kick down" so being as the test car was a manual then I'm still guessing it's initiated by the switch in the throttle pedal we all have to suffer already whether a DSG owner or not - full throttle depression equals overboost for 10 seconds.
As for the wheels - like with the ED30 for the Euro markets, they might get different options to the UK. Same as the current R gets several wheel options in different markets.
The ClubSport was pictured in pre-production guise wearing Pretorias so it's quite likely the Prets *could* be offered in the UK with the Michelin tyres as an expensive option. This indeed might make sense in the UK where it rains nearly all the time but rarely freezes for more than a few days of the year meaning we don't *have* to fit winter tyres. The Michelins I'd put in the 'dry use only' category really meaning in countries where they get proper seasons and do have to fit winter tyres by law it makes more sense to have a dry weather summer tyre and a crap weather winter tyre set up. We in the UK have our own dilemmas as far as tyres are concerned so probably just get a 'make do' option as standard and leave it to a purchaser as to where they want to go from there.
So the lightweight 18's kind of fit in with the ClubSport ethos as an all weather all use wheel and the upgraded wheel and tyre package fits in fully with the ClubSport being used for club sport (track use). The fancy 19" things on the show car might be a £1k option.
