Updated to v2.5 today and put approximately 150miles of mixed driving on.
Are you stage 1+ or 2 .
How are you liking the throttle response?
Stage 1+ is definitely smooth as well , like you said the jerky feeling is gone. But my one complaintn is the less sensitive throttle compared to 2.4.Stage 2, DSG. Throttle response feels slightly better. Just so much smoother across the board.
The tune did resolve my main gripe in random jerky takeoff. It felt like being in a car with someone learning how to drive manual. There was also a rough feeling deceleration when going down from 2nd to first that’s now also gone.
I’m about 1,000 miles in on the tune and it still feels just as good. It also took some time for the previous tunes issues to appear after the tune “adapted” so I guess time will tell.

But the car is still fun to drive , if I could figure out the throttle it would be perfect

I feel like I've been dealing with this on all APR tunes I've had (stg1, stg2, stg2 H/O, stg2+.. The car just drags trying to take off without me flooring it. It's been a headache to balance trying to keep up with traffic without trying to sound like I'm racing everyone from a red light.
I'm not sure how other tunes compare since you can't really demo a tune or at least I never heard of a shop allowing this. Ultimately, it really makes driving the car not all that enjoyable most of the time. I just don't feel like dropping another 500+ at this time to switch tunes.
Glad I'm not the only one that feels that way. About the throttle response, I drove a stage 1+ unitronic GLI . Throttle response was fantastic I didn't feel like I had to slam the gas pedal to move . But the torque felt weak.I feel like I've been dealing with this on all APR tunes I've had (stg1, stg2, stg2 H/O, stg2+.. The car just drags trying to take off without me flooring it.

Do you have upgraded engine mounts?

When you have some extra $ , I would highly recommend the the integrated engineering ecu tune. Their dsg tune complements the ECU nicely. Very mild tcu tune . But regarding the ECU tune.I do not... however, I've had this issue from the get go since Stg1. I completely forgot how the car drove tuneless as well at this point since I went Stg1 around 7k miles on the car...
Anyone with manual transmission get this update? Worth it?
