Sweet. Can't wait to get mine done. The local dealer is not yet able to do it so wait I must.

lets say i drive normally for the 150miles.will it adapt fully or do i need to push it (i.e spirited driving) at times?
Mr.Alex
I Got That 6.
By adapt I mean it just needs to re-settle. For example the power transitions will become more smooth and linear, less jerky. Atleast thats how I saw/felt it, and it kinda become more capable/quicker.
I'd just drive how you did before the tune whether thats normal and push it at times or whatever.

My perceptions of the tune are similar to yours.
Don't worry about adaptation, it'll happen transparently in the background. You might experience mild improvements in power, drivability, and fuel economy. You don't have to do anything special to make things happen.
What you're hearing is just the turbine and DV working a bit harder, and pushing more air through the plumbing. It's normal.
Awesome. I go to get my Stage II file installed next week.

Just a warning besides getting a tune dont ever go to KMD they are the absolute worst, and don't back up their work. They send cars they cant fix to Douglas VW ( which is a dealer ). They have a horrible reputation amongst the community, more horrid stories than better. They fucked up my jetta, I took it back to them to have a look at it and they said straight up "not our problem, take it to the dealer". They're all horrible there, if you search around on vortex or golfmkv you'll find similar stories.
Id recommend anyone that wants to get tuned, go to Crestmont VW. They are a vw dealer that does Revo tuning.

I REVO'd my 2011 GTI today too and I feel a difference but it doesn't feel that great. I was expecting a really dig difference. I called a few of my friends and all of them said to give the ECU 5 hours of driving time to adapt and I should see a huge improvement.
Like on thing is noticed was the tires wouldn't even screech of a 20 roll
I thought with all that torque that it would be crazy

That sucks, one thing that i'm scared of doing after my reflash is be dissappointed. After all the wait and hype I don't wanna be left without a painful smile on my face lol. I'd rather be in happy pain from smiling too much instead of dissappointment of not being impressed, that's why I might skip stage 1 and go straight to stage 2 and definately have that big gap and be happy

Do you have the Stock Intake? On my old MK4 and Audi A4 (B7) i noticed that having an intake really allowed the turbo to breath. Though i was using APR Software. That really shouldn't matter.

i highly recommend getting an intake and downpipe in conjunction with tune. I had APR stage 2 on my tsi cc. smiles for me.
