Tbh i just dropped car off and disappeared until it was ready. I should really give them a phone to get more details, Im assuming its the latest V3.1 map since its got the flat torque between 3-4k for boost surge..

Im unsure about the flat shift, is there an easy way to tell other than possibly hurting my car if i keep my foot flat between changes to find i dont have it? Lol If im in gear and accelerating should i be able to dip clutch and it not rev to limiter for example?

I will maybe try video it over the weekend.

Well if im in 1st, clutch engaged and foot to the floor, it pops and bangs at 3k rpm then release clutch and it gets full power. Looks like LC to me?

Well it must be because i have it! :D I never asked for it either, the map obviously has it regardless.

I have a manual so its more fun. I have launch control but dont plan on using it really!

Heres a graph from today with APR software on my TSI K04.

Nice. I dont have CC so i assume i got 98, i wish i asked more now! Will 100 map be totally safe of 98/99 ron fuel?

What would they normally load? I always use the 98/99 ron fuel.

Yes 3bar map sensor software, but didnt they have that on the previous maps? It goes like absolute stink, and the limited boost between 3-4k rpm makes it chaos as it gets full boost at 4k, normally involving a struggle for traction which is fun! The clutch obviously isn't coping so when Helix...

Well ive got my TSI K04 map now and it has launch control (3k rpm), i havent tried for flat shift yet as im still running standard clutch until Helix arrives start of next week. Standard clutch cant take the power never mind flat shifting!!

Getting APR map on Thursday and id def have got flatshift if i could.. Mine is a K04d TSI though so is that going to be available?

Dont Forge do discharge/ throttle pipe kits for S3? I recently bought the kit for Mk6 Golf around £180.. Made a noticeable difference and thats before ive even fitted K04. :)

Maybe the old chap has went in saying "give it a full service", how do we actually know? I agree it sounds dodgy but we dont actually know the circumstances and the guy calling them cowboys doesnt even know that a 1.8T has a timing belt!

A 1.8 20v has a timing belt, that is basic knowledge that you dont know yourself.... So you should maybe call them for an explanation since they know more than you..
