Default I disagree...
i didnt feel much difference at all with the tip chip than stock tcu

felt like maybe slightly faster shifts but nothing very noticable. I have even swapped my stock tcu back in a couple times to test it out and they feel almost exactly the same

Default have you used your VAG to reset the tiptronic computer?
Sometimes the learned behavior of the tiptronics can be a player in how quickly the car responds.

Default Do you mean "basic settings" for Tip? How do you do it? I looked everywhere
but couldn't find the procedure.
