Low Speed rpm dip solutions
Staring out in my 2.0T 6 speed the car has an annoying dip or stumble in first gear. The rpms go up then fall and then recover, then car is great and plenty fast.
If I hold revs high and drop clutch, I can avoid this but i usually get wheel spin.
Any solutions?

Re: I'm no Mikey Shoemaker, but it sounds like a driving technique issue.
No I know how to drive a stick. Letting the clutch out smooth and not florring the car, the car will rev up to about 2,500 rpm and then dip before the power comes on.
To prove I am not an idiot, PCmags review of the A3 (same engine) states:
Awkward vertical mounting of the MMI joystick controller. Cramped legroom for the driver. The car stumbles when accelerating hard from a standstill.
Now better suggestions? Is it the drive by wire pedal, the ecu engine mgmt. or what

Takes some practice
I just got my A4 2.0T 6MT and experienced the dip you're describing as well. I thought to myself, "What the hell?" then realized I just needed to get used to it more. It's all about clutch control, once you got it down you shouldn't be experiencing that "dip" anymore. Instead it should be a smoothe delivery, with a growl from the engine, and your head back in the seat. From a litte 2.0 engine, I love it.

You have to slip the clutch a bit more to get a smooth takeoff.
Something has to give when you launch the car. Either tires have to spin, clutch has to slip or engine RPMs have to drop. When you give it more RPMS and try to do a hard launch, the clutch ends up slipping while it matches the engine RPM to the rotation of the wheels. If you don't give the car enough power, it can't slip the clutch so the RPMs end up dropping. If you give it to much power, it will burn the clutch. If you do it just right, the car will take off perfectly. If you don't want a hard launch but still a "speedy" one, you have to compensate for the lack of power by slipping the clutch yourself.
