update on the tip chip ... I recieved it back today and popped it in.... words can not describe the difference. No gear searching and everything just feels stringer... it manages the horse power soooo much better then the stock file! Prince was great with all his help and communication. This is a MUST for any a6 tip owner. $375 was well worth the results!

it is very smooth and def. no knocking when downshifting the only wierd thing is that when i am in tip mode it wont hold gears for example if i launch and im up around 4000rpm in 3rd gear and let off the gas completely and coast the trans will automaticly shift to 4th and 5th without me pushing the shifter up or if i am in 4th and gun it the trans will downshift to 2nd or 3rd which sucks because before the mod it would hold that gear which really gave u the feel of a stick (or as close as u can get with tip)

also i have the s-line and i had sport mode and instead of saying P R N D S it now says P R N D 4 3 2 on my screen in between the spedo and tach ... not a big deal just a lil different

I emailed prince and ill let you know if this is normal but i def. feel a diff. in shift time

thanks, please let me know as soon as you can as I am supposed to dfo mone Monday, well ship it to them Monday.
Mine shifts down on its own when I gun it from 4th or 5th, which I hate!

As for your shift up under NO acceleration, that really sucks! Mine does not do that for now! Maybe you need to tip 01032 recode on VAG
I have the sport mode too.... P R N D S, though I don't need the S, as my D mode is now like the S mode with the tip recode.

2nd on the trans recode. I had to change mine after they chipped it. now after the 32 code it is fine. they set it back to 00 or 02 after the new file goes in. as for the prnds let prince know you still want to retain that when you send out the ecu. he made my prnd say vast_d in my test tcu. that really showed some tuning domence I thought.

I still can't believe how much different this file was compared to my giac. not only that but it was still better than my friends level 10 modifyed VB. deffinity money well spent. as said before I seriously recommend this to anyone with a tip X2 if you are chipped

Don't have it handy but do a search no AW, there is extensive write ups.

So what did Prince say that?
