Make sure you're not in stock mode.

My car at varies drastically with how fast it feels. Some days it feels great, and others it feels slow as fuck. Doesn't seem to follow changes in weather or anything else I can really think of. Seems really random, and it is pretty annoying honestly.

Humidity and pressure can affect a car's performance - especially a car with a turbo.

^^^this. Humidity greatly affects this car.

Every Day... It's virtually impossible to duplicate performance reliably given the ton of sensors reporting to the ECU...

what I mean is like drive to a store. Car feels like shit. Leave store and car feels strong. Matter of 20 minutes. Same weather same roads same everything. Isn't in my head either.

what did you buy at the store? was it exciting??

Halvie · Jun 20, 2012

was gonna say it wasn't a change of mood either. Also after putting in gas it usually feels a lot stronger.

I was in stock mode for 5 days and didn't know about it. I was given incorrect instructions on how to program switch with APR. I thought I was doing fault code erase but I put it in program 1 by mistake.

When I found out what was wrong it was like getting stage 2 all over again.

Yeah, some days wheel spin all through 2nd gear, and some days, barely a chirp. I have never had a car with this type of night and day personality. I've had to log boost just to make sure I'm not in stock mode.

Maybe it was uphill to the store, and downhill from?

agree. Has nothing to do with the tune. Has done it since I bought the car.

I experience the same thing. Sometimes my car goes gangbusters when accelerating out of a turn, other times its a dud.

I think its a combination of the many factors the ECU takes into account before deciding how to interpret your throttle input. Turning angle, throttle input, driving history (DSG), etc
