I have no idea lol. If it does, that would make perfect sense as to why I can't feel the difference and the manual GTI was mental.

3rd with the box is hugely powerful, it's good fun

Thanks Lee.
I've switched to my phone and can see the links now.

Pretty impressive.

Does the latest software for the box on the R kick the power in earlier than on the GTI one previously?

It is lower down but I can only compare it to my Revo map on my GTI, the Revo map is hugely more urgent and punchy. I can't even feel the box in 1st and 2nd, where as Revo transformed my GTI into an animal. It does what it says on the tin, but nowhere near as exciting as the Revo imo

Catch 22 then - you have more traction to take advantage of in the R but the box is more civilised in its delivery.
It's funny how two ex-GTI owners on here had REVO and both had quite a few warranty claims! I had REVO in a couple of previous cars and they certainly deliver the thrills but can be a bit overly aggressive in delivery.

Lol and mine included, flywheel, clutch and gearbox synchro rings.

It is a very civilised delivery, but certainly have noticed if I press the peddle for the normal amount of time of a given road, I am going quite a bit faster than I was before lol

Now that it's been nearly a year since I snapped bottom engine mount resulting 8k warranty claim i thought I'd post a video to show how it happened ,I was only my 3rd run & was experiencing a lot of wheel hoping from the extra power of the revo map. Straight away i knew something had broke so back off , you can hear The warning buzzer telling me the car was over heating because the engine hit the rad,but also smashed the DSG & damaged the catalytic converter thank god VW fixxed it under warranty.

Lol, results are 307 HP at the wheel and a 0-60 run of 4.1 seconds in the rain.

The results haven't been repeated yet though

Looks impressive remlapeel , I think I'm sold, I just need a car to put it on after it was stolen at the weekend, I look forward to your dry time I think it will have more to give.

It certainly wasn't a comedy moment at the time, but I suppose I can laugh about it now, VW said I was the only one in the world to have broke the mount so probably just got unlucky.
