Can you link to the tuning software you're using? Your philosophy is like mine- I want a mild/fuel efficient drive, and more aggressive sport mode

[@mygolfmk7209]

I'm using a Stratified DSG tune. Keep in mind that I have the GTI DQ250 transmission, and different transmissions will shift differently. www.stratifiedauto.com/

Proper dsg tune in 7gti its very importent, because long gear ratio, most in drive mode.

[@mygolfmk7209]

I agree that the DSG tune can make a big difference in how the car drives.

If your so good why don’t you tune it yourself and why don’t you have a performance shop if your tests are sooo valid?

[@mygolfmk7209]

Hey Greg. I do use HP Tuners to do my own tuning. As I mention on the website, I work as a test engineer, so this is just a hobby to do quick, low cost tests. I do some testing on behalf of performance shops, but I enjoy the testing I do in my line of work. I'm not sure what you mean by "sooo valid"? Testing, especially what I'm doing, has inherent uncertainty which I try to express by describing the processes and showing results so readers can make up their own mind about whether or not they want to agree with my conclusions.
