cool to hear the comparison of V2.0 vs 2.4 for MT. I love the 2.0 file, wondering if I should bother with the upgrade.

If I were I wouldn't. Feels exactly like 2.0.

Everything is much much smoother. Power comes on quicker, cold starts and driving cold are much better as well

The throttle around idle rpms just behaves so much better than it used to, so parking lot driving is a lot smoother. The idle itself is smoother, especially cold starts. Power doesn't fluctuate near as much in certain gears when you're beginning to give it fairly heavy throttle. The way the power is delivered feels different. It's like the power is always just there waiting and expecting you to punch it at any second so when you do it just goes.
I'd say the extra power in 5th and 6th is worth it alone. 2.0 made it very obvious that power in 5th and 6th was toned down pretty good, and with 2.4 that power is back.

interesting, thanks guys. I should have added, I wouldn't have to pay for the upgrade, just have to take a few hours out of my day to do it. that may have been a factor in Dans GTI's comment. A lot of car stuff is subjective too though. anyway, appreciate everyone's feedback
When i had the 2.0 tune i didn't have any of the issues people normally complained about (high idle, ect.) except for a few small things that still show with this new tune, but nothing major or to go home and cry about.
As stated its subjective, my 2.0 tune was pretty much perfect, when i went to 2.1 that's when everything went to hell.
unrelated though, my clutch finally started slipping yesterday after 76k miles being tuned.

I have nothing but good things to say about my RSR clutch. I drove my friend's South Bend Stg 2 Endurance clutch and that was pretty nice too.. but it will stray from the OEM feel that the RSR clutch preserves. If you have any questions on that, hit me up.
I wish I did an LSD while I was in there.. Id rather have that over an F23T or K04.
Thats great, i'm going to go piece together my own RSR kit.

Just went 2.0 to 2.4, 6MT.
6th feels like 5th used to. It woke 5th up for sure. Downshifting almost felt like an exercise in futility pre 2.4, lots of noise and no go in 5th, update gave it some umph. 1-4 feels the same but less clunky. I dont know how else to describe it but it's pleasant and feels smoother. Engine braking feels correct now, before I was consistently asking myself what the point of even doing it was besides habit.

Did the DIY RSR and I have had it for 20-25k miles and I love it. Still grabs like hell and feels great.
