    B8.5 8-speed tiptronic tune available?

    Searched around a bit but couldn't find much about this. Are any of the companies offering a transmission tune for the 8-speeds? Also on a side note I've noticed when going WOT you get that "fart" sound from 1-2 gear and sometimes on a higher gear but does this serve any purpose on an tiptronic (on DSG's I can understand what it's doing with throttle cutting). Would be sorta cool to have this on all other gears if a tune could adjust that.

    When I got the APR tune I instantly noticed the shifts were a lot quicker, so a TCU tune is included. With my exhaust I get the DSG fart at WOT in all gears

    There is no tcu tune included for the zf8hp55... the transmission is just adapting to the higher torque and increased performance driving... there is a vagcom mode noted in Apr's website that deletes the automatic upshift in our transmissions...

    The upshift fart is the one better thing about automatic cars over manuals. Sounds amazing with an AWE exhaust lol.

    This is originally what I figured the ECU was doing without an actual TCU tune but didn't know for sure.
