How is the tuning going so far? Truely epic little project you have there.

Will you need to map the DSG as well?

DSG seats within it's tolerances for now, we may tune it later.

took it for a spin and it is ballistic believe me, the wind is not much at all on lower revs but increases gradually to a nice sound.
if anyone was hesitant - DO IT, it's awesome, the power delivery is instant on any gear, the beast been transformed into real animal now, huge difference
Left it at the shop for finishing jobs and new pulley install.
