"...the DSG indeed shifts faster and engages gears positively when you select them utilizing the steering wheel paddles using light-aggressive throttle and full-throttle. There is no longer a lag-time while using the paddle shifters like before (I have not used the floor shifter yet), the delay is virtually gone... Overall, I really like the upgrade!" >>>read more...
"...The upgrade is just what Marcel described it to be. The shifts are way fast when you pass half-throttle...the car pulls harder immediately, all the way...And, zingo-bingo, you are at the new redline of 7150 rpm" >>>read more...
"The car feels different and for sure is pulling in every gear. LC now sets you back in your seat . Being in the upper RPM's is very well received!!" >>>read more
"This was literally worth every penny... The time that it takes for the gear to change from the time you pull the paddles is nearly instantaneous... Launch control is AMAZING... LC will literally knock your socks off. All four wheels broke loose and left burn marks on the concrete" >>>read more
"Driving with the stage 2 upgrade in M mode is a blast. I can definitely say that the DSG shift response is faster while using the paddle shifters. It indeed up shifts faster and engages gears much more positively than before when using half throttle or more... the DSG will no longer shift for you in M mode. That’s right! You will now be able to bounce off the rev-limiter in each gear as advertised... The new HPA launch control settings are intense and omnipresent... Taking off at 5,200 RPM is an adrenaline rush that doesn’t stop until you hit the brakes. The R32 viscously leaps from a standstill with a squeal from all four tires pressing you to the seat like a jet plane on take off that gets your heart pounding. And it does not stop there, the shift from 1st to 2nd is incredible, it is both quick and powerful, somehow pushing you further into the seat, almost like some big monster shoving you with both hands... The DSG experience has definitely been enhanced and improved by HPA" >>>read more
"this is the way the DGS box should have been from the factory. I can't believe just how much faster my car feels now that ALL the torque is being applied. Not too mention I love the way it shifts now. Anyone on the fence about getting this like I was...... JUST DO IT!" >>>read more
"It's awesome!! IMO this is the best mod out there for our cars right now. If you don't have any mods in your car, this is the first one you should have." >>>read more
"the car feels more alive and more responsive. I felt the upgrades were noticeable pulling out of the shop onto the road. The up shifts and downshifts are more responsive. Pulling out of a stop there is virtually zero lag. When shifting almost anywhere along the power curve you can tell it pulls right to where it shifts, shifts and keeps going, not before where the train would slow down, shift, and then keep going. I took a few friends out right after I got home and didn't tell them anything they started asking what I got done to the car the car because "it pulls light a freight train all way up the power band." >>>read more
