GIAC has tip chips for audis i assume they are the same for VWs dunno though

[Kor]

I would let someone else be the guinea pig before I installed it

[QuA]

True.... Actually the audi version of tiptronic is out but since our VW tiptronics are made by Hyundai and not Bosch its harder to work around.

what hyundai!!! really?? i didn't know that.. whatever though apparantly the MK5 was getting suspension help from ford UK so whatever

[Kor]

Don't bring up the Mk5... we need a whole section to discuss that one fully.

I'm gonna see how fast I can get this Auto/Tiptronic car =)

I was talking with the guys at concept1 and I think I was the only auto/tiptronic 1.8T they've seen work done to it =)

thats cuz auto is for lazy people that can't drive dem shifter carz :P jk.

best thing for me would be a DSG/sequential cuz the new TT has it and the upcoming VWs and Audis will too.. no clutch but you still have to shift.. should be fun to try..

[QuA]

You can concentrate and shift as much as you want, but you'll still be seeing my tails on my auto. muahahha.

DSG is a dual clutch setup. You technically have 2 clutches but all you have to do is use buttons or whatever they have on the car to switch gears. Physically no more clutch ... technically 2 =)

hehe yea.. qua do you always drive in TIP mode? the only times I wish I had a auto is on hills with lights but i got them down now so no complaints.. either way aslong as the car has zip i could care less.. like on acura CL type S with the Tip.. they are still fast as hell so no complaints.. same with like a pheoton.. 6spd tip.. cool as hell man

[QuA]

Yeah I would've prefered a manual but the rents didnt want me to get one... =(

Tiptronics not bad but DSG ... DAMN! I really want that hehe. Yeah those CL type S are pretty damn fast.

Is that the one where you can pre-select the gear?
