    If it sounded like a shotgun went off with almost every shift and shot balls of fire ... it was Zevion's.
    United Motorsport authorized dealer. PM me anything UM related.
    IMS built UM tuned Golf RS.

    The consequences of being first to market are felt long after the novelty has worn off.

    Click on the Vortex Thread link in my sig. But basically, it's a 6766 turbo, a fully built motor and a 4inch downpipe and exhaust. Pics and stuff are in the thread. DSG is awesome. Latest software from United Motorsport has spark cut during shifts and it's insane. I'm putting 654WHP down and the DSG takes it all day. Fastest shifts you'll ever hear. Wait until the vid.

    I was a die hard MT guy, but I'm a DSG convert now. I have some new United Motorsport secret DSG stuff happening over the next month or two and then going for MORE power once the DSG can take it.

    Stay tuned.

    No mechanical mods at all. I tried aftermarket clutches, but the best results....stock.

    The key is the software, from United Motorsports. There's some secret sauce going on and they're they guys to help if you're in the market for this stuff.

    I'll get some vids up this week and you can see it working for yourself. It's amazing what the DSG is capable of with the right software.

    Moar low / show-only people need not apply, unless you're on air. Seriously, things break out there if you are too low.
    I have installed most of the popular bolt-on mods for a 2008 R32, minus suspension work. I know a lot about electronics and car audio, and have experience with VCDS ("vagcom"). I'm a radar/lidar countermeasure enthusiast. I like track days, autocross, and US Highway 129. I love aural pleasure.

    Zevion or anyone, can explain to me what spark cut does? When was this software updated? and is spark cut only for the turbo software? It sounds soooo cool, I want it *fangirl scream*
