DSG Reflash - anyone done it in a tuned ED30/Pirelli?
tinto:
I got the impression D mode was effectively business as usual (unchanged), whereas both M/S are where the magic happens.
GIAC's description: http://www.giacusa.com/news.php?newsid=97
Strangely, the GIAC site doesn't have this line:
"Drive mode is recommended for daily commuting as our sport mode is much more aggressive than the factory sport mode. It is perfect for aggressive sprints and track or canyon runs."
Which is a line lifted from the Aussie reseller's site:
http://www.dubaddiction.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=36&products_id=78
I get the impression the DubAddiction text was lifted from GIAC - so wonder why GIAC removed that particular line.
Perhaps covering their arses and not wanting to endorse aggressive 'canyon runs'.
That sentence was what got me a bit more interested in it, hence all the specific S-mode questions!
I find these engines spin so smoothly that judging the RPM by ear is a bit of an art.
Sure I could look down, but tend not to when my mind is full of "BRAAAAAAAKE! - TUUUUUURN!... why is my helmet steaming up?"
I've been in M mode and tried cracking down a gear only to realise i'm already tickling 6000rpm... so I go into Playstation mode and switch back to S :happy2:
I know... I should be ashamed of myself. :embarrassed:
"I will use more M Mode this year." A late New Years resolution has been found. :laugh:

M-mode with the paddles is really the best of all and you can simply pop in and out of the others when you want. S-mode might be great but it's still the DSG which decides when to shift gear rather than you and even if your main attention is elsewhere it's so simple with your fingers next to the paddles.
