So today, the DSG flash and the motor mount went in. Power transfer is... much improved.
More NVH (a little at idle/reverse, quite a bit when at low RPM) but the car feels really solid and wheel hop is pretty much gone! Shifts are faster, smoother... and there is no longer a 3-2-1 clunk! No kickdown is also quite nice, but have to get used to it again because I now have to adjust my driving style.
Add more impressions as I get used to it and form an opinion.
Vanguard review is being written up, and videos are being taken soon.
