Wow….I'm seriously going to try this first thing tomorrow. This is in the Elect.Steering controller correct?

Sub'd! Torque steer is rarely an issue on my car, but I'm certainly interested in trying it, if indeed it works!

Dave..thoughts on it? Have you had a chance to drive your car back to back with it enabled?

I believe this only compensates for steering feedback, it does not prevent the car from going off centerline if a tire breaks traction.

Tried this out tonight and it works really well!
I'm stage 1 and with TSC off a 2nd gear pull causes the car to steer to the right quite a bit. With TSC active, the steering rack now automatically counter steers for you, and the car pulls straight with only a VERY small amount of torque steer when close to redline.
This is a very good find. Steering otherwise doesn't feel like it's any different either. I'd still be very curious to see how well it compensates for even higher powered Stage2 or K04 cars.

My car is an early 2008 with an FSI motor. I guess I just made the cutoff?

I wouldn't have been surprised if the cut-off was with the TSI, as it has a newer ECU. Very cool that some FSI's made the cut!
