does a dsg remap definitely increase torque?

That's a very helpful and informative reply, Keith  :drinking:

In my own case I'm at 103k miles but only had the DSG remap since ~78k miles. My style of driving is spirited when conditions allow doing so safely but I use the gears and never rely on torque from lower revs. Also I shift gear before ~5,000 revs as there is less power up there on my Revo Stage 2 K03 GTI. I also use engine braking through shifting gears more than trailing the brakes. As I have been driving for nearly 50 years I guess I am old school in my driving habits.

So that's why I nearly went up your Quads when pushing on, I had no warning !!!   :laugh:   :fighting:

Rather than rely on the brake lights of a vehicle in front you should look further up the road and anticipate. It's something that was drummed into me on the course I did.  :happy2:
