Yeah, my gas mileage went down because I can't stay out of the throttle

The only thing I have really read about is multiple people have had to have their car reflashed a second time after having issues with the first reflash. I believe it was attributed to the car making too much power for some value in the software and therefore putting the car into limp mode. I'm still not sure I believe that the tune caused it though.

They had an issue with the red line being increased to 8500rpm from 8300rpm - problems only occurred for DCT due to the different gearing.

I got dyno tuned by PC, and so far it has worked out to my satisfaction.

I have 0 complaints.
