Possible beater replacement
Wanted to try an Audi/VW product with a DSG. DSG for noobs is a computer controlled clutch/manual gearbox.....no power robbing tq converter of a traditional auto box.
Wow that 2.0L FSI pulls like the Mazda 2.3 DIZI unit....monster tq at low rpm but seem to like the revs much better. Also much more mod-able. Chipping can yield 50hp and 80 lb/ft over the 200hp, 207 lb/ft.
The DSG is so good, but I wonder why I'd even bother to shift my self...something I like as an enthusiast. The software will still upshift for you if you are late with the click
. I'm sure some software mods could fix this though.
I didn't try launch control, perhaps next episode, but I was wowed when I blasted through an entrance ramp onto 290N.....

and as OHB of the RGCC, Erin reminded me that it could be no other way!
