My favorite "farts" are the Pagani Huayra and Cinque. Sound like a 9mm going off.

APR Presents the DQ250 DSG & S tronic TCU Upgrade!
- Thread starter Arin@APR
- Start date
A3SBQ
Ready to race!
This is how I feel to. The DSG tune will most likely fix this. Just do it.
I have waited to do my DSG for more than 3 years now. Now I'm waiting to get the proper cable for the sw extraction.

yes. i was testing this morning too. my biggest problem was no matter how deep i press on my pedal in D mode gears 1-3, it always shifts around 2300-2500 instead of holding to get into the powerband. and after every one of those shifts it just bogs with no power.
Cool, no problem. Very hard to get the camera still on the tach while driving, especially in landscape mode.
All of these videos are from my commute home. Didn't really get on it too much as there wasn't much room for it. But daily driving is where you'll notice the tune the most, not WOT.
D mode:
Note: Notice how when it makes the gear change, the RPMs drop an extra ~100rpm to its final place before increasing? APR mentioned changing the way they rev match, just wondering if this is something that will get fixed in an update.
S mode:
Longer vid with a mix of D & S modes:
D/M Modes, moderate quick takeoff:
Note: Not sure what that rattle is at 45s in. I only noticed it on video. Weird.
D Mode, another moderate quick takeoff:

We don't change rev matching. It's the same.
The ECU DOES lock out downshifting in some situations on some models. This is removed till a little before redline.

its hard to tell, but i think your D mode def revs a bit higher than mine. we can't really compare though, because "pedal position" and "load" is all relative. and mine also takes too much pedal to force a downshift, i have to go really deep.
True, I thought about that when I was recording... I wanted to test out the obd2 wireless app I have connected to my phone. It has a tracking feature that you can see various data points while recording.
You can kind of tell how hard I'm pressing by the intake noise. In all honesty, it doesn't take too much. It does not consistently shift at a certain rpm point.
It really is smoother.
Hm... I'm 90% sure Jamie mentioned that APR changed the method the TCU uses to rev match. In either case, does that clutch slip look normal when shifting gears?
I'm not the only person who has mentioned it.
