The TTRS is manual and I believe running stage 2 spec was in the high 12's when I left  :happy2:

Was it Poverty trying to make sure his Audi beat  a 250? Is he still there now? It could be a long day  :signLOL:

Poverty was hitting 12.8-12.9 iirc.  Struggling with his launches.

i dont think he expected me to overtake him either  :grin:

Useful day for us tbh. My car really really needs a transmission mount.  You could here it clunk even on gentle launches :scared:.  The DSG isnt a fan of the midrange torque i think, so changes there, and my tyres are horrendous  :grin: Could do with a DSG remap as well to stop the auto change up beating me to the gear changes

Sy. A DSG remap will make that DSG shifting at peak torque worse. It's made mine a bit 'grabby' if I change gear on WOT at peak torque.

A DSG map is needed to raise the torque limit, and to stop the autochange at the redline.

I was changing manually and both me and the car was deciding to change gear itself at the same time, so it would end up changing twice  :fighting:

Why would DSG change at peak torque though?  thats at 3000rpm (ish)
