Ahh I see, thanks.
Once your car DSG has been mapped is there any change is tone? just curious

The engine sounds raspier and quicker to respond to the throttle input but I think that it's just related to the increased boost and fuelling, nothing related to the DSG remap itself.

I had a full set of Revo engine mounts done and that changed power delivery and engine noise in the car. You can feel the engine vibrations (only just) through your fingers on the wheel at idle. The engine is restrained in it's mounts so there is no inertia generated by soft mounts to overcome when on the throttle. These engines move around a lot on stock mounts. On a modified car that's driven OE mounts are worked very hard. The noise in the cabin is very addictive, creates a 'growly' engine noise. I love it, some may not. Car is very sharp on the throttle though. :happy2:

Yeah, I forgot about those. I've only upgraded both dogbone's mounts to Vibra-Technics and that made a good difference to the engine response. My Eddie only has 38.500 miles so I think the top engine mounts are still ok. When they're a bit more tired, I'll upgrade them as well. Thank you for your input to the topic! It's always high quality. :happy2:

I have been told that having it mapped reduces if not totally eradicates the farts/pops on gear change. One of the reasons why I haven't went with one, as I like having that when your giving it some!

I haven't seen any video with a DSG remapped and no fart at gear change. Mine keeps farting, the more boost the merrier, but I know it wasn't much changed so far (most likely just the torque limiter...).

Have you got a dsg remap?
