This car is still relatively new to me (Oct ‘24) and with it being my first B7, I’ve no frame of reference in engine response and tone until now. The idle is significantly smoother, but much higher in pitch. It also shifts much earlier than before, whereas previously it hung until maybe 2000-2100k during restrained driving. Highway pulls feel a bit… neutered maybe? Before the shop, I felt like I had no end in 5th/6th gear upper end power band before running out of road. Lastly, after longer drives, once getting off the gas, I’d get a good ‘burp’ or two as it downshifted.
Again, shot in the dark, any ideas on guessing the mapping? Not in a rush to go back, but I did like the response on rolling speeds.
