Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I doubt it would change the exhaust because that is what the PSE option is for.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

On a PDK I'm guessing it would make a huge difference to the gearbox, but what about on a manual? More aggressive throttle response? Does it do anything else? I'm struggling to think of what other changes it could make to the setup on a car that also has PASM. I doubt it would change the exhaust because that is what the PSE option is for.

POST 2Original post

I know it's a different car, but on my dearly departed mum's Jazz auto, putting it in s just made it hold onto revs more before upshifting. It didn't go any faster, just made more noiseq and used more petrol .

POST 3Original post

It sharpens the throttle map on my Spyder. Nothing else as far as I am aware.

POST 4Original post

Throttle response and slackens off PSM to allow more slip angle before it intervenes.

POST 5Original post

^^^^^^^^^^^ On my 987.1 RS60. Sharpens up throttle Activates PASM Allows more slip in PSM Opens exhaust flaps. All on one push of the button!
