If one does an APR download on a DSG car simply drive it in the mundane D mode for the 1st. phase of break-in. Focus on smooth driving habits & notice how easy it is to glide around point-to-point . It's suddenly silky smooth in typical traffic conditions, on the roads you know well. Take it easy, give the program 100-150 miles to settle in and don't worry, fret or over-think it (have a little faith.) Next 100 miles play w/ S mode and get more aggressive. After a full tank of gas explore the manual mode extensively (paddle & lever producing interesting differences) and use WOT whenever you can. Blip down a gear or two for passing. Fast lane changes are spectacular. It took my car about 350 miles to make, more or less, a 95% transition to the APR program. At the 400 mile point I see improvements in all transmission functions and power is coming on strong and smooth. Excellent power gains!!!

Also after the 3rd tank of gas (assuming you are taking mileage notes) you will notice an improvement in fuel consumption. This was the icing on my APR cake. Very impressive considering that I drove w/ my new APR software at silly fast speeds on my 3rd tank of gas.
