As a birthday gift to myself, I decided to get my car flashed to stage 1, considering both my buddies with stage 1 mk5's gap me even though I have dsg. They talked me into the flash... friends right? haha
The day of the flash I was uber excited, I chose revo because I see all over that their tunes are more aggressive than apr. I got in the car after my flash and didn't feel much of a difference.
The second day having the tune both my buddies agreed my car is not pulling half as hard as it should be. I was upset and called the shop to see if they accidentally gave me a DSG tune. They said they updated my OE Software and then flashed me to revo stage 1 setting boost at 6 timing at 1.
I've been doing research but its hard to find a solid answer on this. So my question is: Do our ECU's need to adapt to the new parameters of the tune? some say yes some say no.
Overtime i hop in my car i let it idle for 5 min before driving, then start my drive in manual mode to make sure i go 1 to 6 and back to 1.
After 1 gas tank and about 75 miles into post-tune, I feel somewhat of a difference in power, it pulls a little harder in 2nd and 3rd... Have other people experienced and "adaptation" period after getting flashed?
p.s. Cheers to 20, finally out of the teens! woo:thumbsup:
