WhiteGTI, it does seem as if you're suffering top end compated to us?

If you make it to the SC meet, then you can have a go in mine to compare 
I am addicted to the sound  of the DSG gear changes with mine, if i take it up to 5000 RPM then change up the sound is amazing. Just talkng about it now makes me want to go and have a go

Chris, my Revo Stage2 is smoother than Stage1 was too. The difference is only fairly subtle but it is less inclined to light up the TC (Traction Control, not Top Cat).

Hmmmmmmmmmmm I may have to get things checked out. Its been like this from day one, and is running good power too.

@ Tony - top end seems normal really, it pulls hard up until about 5500 where things start to die a bit, it did the same at stock, so i assume it is the characteristic of the K03! Power/torque curves are also perfect. I'll have a chat with JKM at some point and see what they think!

@ TC - I remember when I first drove a MK2 TT with DSG (the first time I had driven DSG), and that popping was so addictive. When i was at Silverstone this weekend seeing the FIA GT cars race, they were all banging on the upshift! Really made me want a DSG!

I don't think you've a problem with the car - maybe just a different characteristic of your DP, as that's the common difference? We're all just running an uprated filter, is that right?

[WhiteGTI]

^ Good point... Yep the only other engine mods (aside from the RSC exhaust) are the Forge DV and the Carbonio with a Pipercross filter.
