Because Sport mode on DSG also adjust the shift points etc
Not everyone has driving mode feature.The amount of placebo in both directions in this thread... lol
What would even be the point of this mod if all it does is match sport mode's throttle response... when you can just enable sports mode?

On a standard 6MT I can definitely feel a faster more crisp response from the peddle-throttle.
All GTIs have Driving Modes. Not sure what he means by that.

You guys do know you can be in Sport mode but still have the D shift points, right?
That way you get all the benefits of the sharper throttle, faster turning lights, stiffer steering, without the annoying high RPM shifts.
That's if you just switched to the custom mode with the sport drivetrain. It automatically puts the DSG in S. Next time you start the car, though, the drivetrain is still in sport per your custom setting, but the DSG defaults to D.You mean with this tweak or...? Because I don't see any way to turn on sport throttle without sport shift points. If you do custom, the drivetrain option affects both the throttle and shift points.

This + clutch stop + bleeder block makes shifting feel perfect.
Manual+JB4 here, definitely feel the difference. Less bucking in 1st and overall smoother power delivery, doesn't give a power surge like it used too. Also permanently in sport mode.
Maybe it's different for DSG folks.
Yup, I'm just pointing out that the DSG always defaults to D whenever the car restarts, so if someone doesn't like the S shift points, they don't have to worry about itNo need to restart. Simply pull the shifter back, and it will put the tranny in D, while leaving everything else in Sport mode.
This is what makes me want to try. I'm 6MT and always in sport mode as well. I'm confident if you feel the difference, so will I. There seems to be such unpredictable behavior with engagement and power delivery, especially going into 1st. Bleeder valve mod, clutch pedal stopper and spring delete have made it much more enjoyable, I'm wondering if this is the final piece to the puzzle?
No, they don't.
Maybe all NAR GTI's have the driving mode feature.
ROW cars (at least in EU market) can get it as a paid add-on feature.
I don't have driving mode selection fitted to my GTI and I did the change via OBD11.
I can definitely feel the difference.
Do it and let me know. I too could fill an unknown void as I am in the same situation as you.
