I don't plan on going Stage 2 so I'm curious if the DSG tune makes that much of a difference to be worth the $700

Yes, definitely worth it. The short shift leaves a decent amount of power on the table. I did stage 1 with the DSG tune and it woke the car up a ton!

Yes, outside of the higher launch Control rpm, the higher rev limit is huge as well as a slight improvement in shifting between gears.

I'm actually on the fence about the same thing - I know the charts show a good gain from stage 1 vs 2 but is 1 worth the money?

What is the launch control rpm set to under the GIAC DSG tune?

Absolutely! I love it and was skeptical at first.

I have a 2014 with MT and just recently went with stage 1, figured could always go stage 2 after if it wasn't enough. I was amazed with what it did to the car, pulls so much harder, especially up top in higher RPMs .

Do you have to have the switch installed?

does the GIAC flash loader cable STOCK selection, is really a stock file to avoid TD1 from the dealers? thanks.

I didn't get the switcher but I don't believe the stock file makes it TD 1 proof just reverts the tune to the stock parameters for valets, etc

The DSG is worth the $$$.

they're supposed to give you your switcher. i had stage 1 yesterday and they gave me the cable switcher. i did not get the dsg tho. i need to call on GIAC to confirm.
