It looks like apr are well aware of clutch problems
Clutch Protection:
APR’s standard Stage I ECU Upgrade offers a large increase in low-end torque, which may overpower the factory clutch. While APR did not experience clutch slip at the advertised torque levels and even higher, others may due to clutch health and driving style. APR recommends upgrading slipping clutches, but has also created special software designed to deliver the same peak horsepower with a cap on low end torque to reduce or eliminate slipping. These specific files are available with various torque caps set lower than the standard Stage I ECU Upgrade.
But graham might be on to something with the ecu kicking in,I have a revo mk7 dsg which went into limp mode after giving it the full beans,after a about 5min epc light turned off & power was back.
