The mechanical advances of ALL Bosch VW distributors are equally quick (response time); there is absolutely no diference. Basically, the dist can respond more quickly than the engine can accelerate (at least under load, which is the only condition under which it makes sense to ask the question.) There is no way to compare response times of mech advs to vac advs. This is a comparison between apples and oranges.
