Went up to Bognor motors and had a TVS stage 2+ tcu map to go with my Revo Stage 1 and its absolutely brilliant for me anyway , no more slight hesitation when pulling out of a junction etc and the shifts just feel lightning quick and strong but the best feature for me is the fact that I can drive around in Cupra mode all the time if I want without felling its over revving and in the wrong gear , only thing I'd say to anyone interested is you do loose the pops and bangs a bit in S mode on the down shifts compared to before but they are much louder when you take control in manual mode now which I find myself wanting to use as its so much better and shifts when you want it to , not cheap but for me worth every penny.

You have a DQ381 as well? I have the TVS TCU Stage 2+ as well. Overall I'm pretty happy with it just like you, but I find the engine braking/downshifting a bit harsh and shaky. Do you share the same experience?

My only regret is I've owned these cars for years and could have had them like this from the start but always talked myself out of it , at least I'll fully enjoy it now until I change.

The Stage 2+ is £600 but you could almost just get away with the drivability map if you didn't want the extra clamping pressure which is £400.
Wonder if it's any good on a TDI - already had clamping pressure altered for the circa 500nm my remap chucked out. Neither Drive or Sport makes any sense in what gear it selects

Might be but if it was me I'd get TVS to send another file to try as they are very supportive to customers.
Yeah, I’m in The Netherlands so I visited their HQ for flashing the tune. Unfortunately it’s still a 2,5 hour drive from my place. Maybe I will ask them if It’s possible to borrow their flashtool to make the possible changes. Thanks for your reply anyway and enjoy your tune! :)
