    Is GIAC the only software tuner with DSG (S-Tronic) upgrades?

    - Shift points raised +200 RPM in drive, sport and manual modes
    - Torque control optimization for faster, smoother shifting
    - Clutch pack clamping pressure increase to support higher torque levels
    - Launch control raised +200 RPM, with full torque on launch
    - Torque requests and limits raised
    - Part throttle torque control recalibrated for a more responsive feel

    To see how well the S6 and S7 will launch with this software upgrade, please view the following video:

    What is the effect on gas mileage of this tune? Will it effect CA smog certification?

    Given the same driving style, there will be no I'll effects on gas mileage. Drive mode uses similar shift points to stock, thus allowing you to maintain fuel economy.

    It will not affect CA smog in any way.

    Will it hold the gear in manual mode until driver shifts, even if it's hitting the redline?

    No, for safety it will still shift automatically at redline.
