@John
I recently got a stage 1+ tune, about 2wks ago, and I am experiencing rough gear changes. there is more resistance (should i say its more "clunky") going in to 2nd and 3rd gear. Is this normal??
cuz before the tune I experienced zero issue with gear change, buttery smooth. I just hope im not messing up my tranny.
Please Help...

I had the same experience on DSG. When I upgraded to stage 2 it went back to being smooth again. Perhaps it was because I was only on 92 octane instead of the intended 93, but it's odd that it was fixed with stage 2.

Had no intention of tuning my car but pulled the trigger and decided to go stage 1+ at Waterfest last weekend. I have to say I couldn't be happier. I couldn't believe the improvement it feels like a completely different car!

The good news is once you flash stage 2.. you can downgrade to stage 1-1+ or stock and go back to 2 at a later time.

So if it begins to slip cut her down to stage 1 until you get a new clutch :]

Shoot me an email with your VIN and a full description of the situation you're experiencing and I'd be glad to assist further.

Hey john, sent you a PM, but figured I'd ask here in case it helps others as well.

I am trying to pass emissions with an aftermarket exhaust that has a 200 cell cat. Last year it passed no problem, but this year I'm getting a CEL. this is likely due to the spacer, so I am looking to remove the spacer and get flashed to stage 2 to see if that solves my issue. Can you confirm how many readiness sensors are tripped by stage 2? In NC we are allowed to have 1 off, but I have read threads by others stating that after being tuned they had as many as 3 (from apr, not you guys)

Thanks a bunch!

You will not pass a readiness test on stage 2 there will be 2x monitors out.

Do you have a oxygen spacer post cat? Get one and then flash back to stock using your uniconnect+ cable and then you will assuming the spacer does its job not have a fault.

Make sure you use Vagcom to force readiness before you go in also otherwise thats a fail if its not showing readiness.

I have neither uniconnect nor Vagcom, so that is not an option. I have a post cat sensor, but its throwing 140/141 codes due to being run with a spacer for over a year. Being Stage 1+ should not be an issue with passing emissions, but stage 2 would clear the 420 CEL if i were to remove the spacer causing the 140/141 CEL, hence my question as to how many readiness sensors were tripped by stage 2. I was hoping to not replace the o2 sensor and get a little extra power, but that no longer looks like a viable option.

Nah yeah that sensor needs to be working. You can only "trick" it with the spacer.

Stage 2 disables the read from that sensor so you wont get a CEL from it anymore. The spacer is used to not get the CEL when you dont have it disabled.
