Default What TCU s/w are you using ? I may have a fix for that if you don't mind to Beta test it
TCU limp mode can be set to occur higher than the ECU rev limiter cut-out.

Default Better advice yet
Useless posts like that is a key reason people with something constructive to contribute give up on this forum.

Post something useful or go elsewhere

Default Based on what ? There isn't a lot of technique to launch a Tip, it's supremely easy to do and do
consistently better than a manual

Default questions
its a pita going into liimp mode, but isnt that better than permanently damaging something?

also for the beta test, is it a whole new reprogrammed tcu? or is it something everyone can modify with vagcom?


thanks!
