I'll be buying this . . . after someone else tries it firstWant to be sure it actually makes a noticeable difference.
I don't care what difference the OTS tune makes. You don't buy Cobb for OTS tunes.

From my understanding, this $400 purchase is to unlock the access port to allow the DSG tuning. Anything from a protuner would be ON TOP of this $400.
In fact, COBB now is listing a new AP for the mk7's that includes the DSG tuning for over $1k now.

Yes, here are the OTS maps for the GTI:
COBB OEM+
Removes factory limitations in torque management. Shift delay in manual mode is removed.
COBB Sport
Removes factory limitations in torque management. Shift delay in manual mode is removed. Forced upshifts and downshifts in manual mode disabled. Sport mode shift points change, about 4-500rpm higher than stock. WOT shift points enhanced for is20 cars.
COBB Agressive v100
Removes factory limitations in torque management. Shift delay in manual mode is removed. Forced upshifts and downshifts in manual mode disabled. Aggressive shift points will maintain RPMS above 2k RPMS at most times to increase response. Sport mode remains in 5th until 5800+. WOT shift points optimized for peak power band use in tuned is20 cars.
COBB Agressive IS38 (only for use with MK7 GTI’s using an OEM IS38 Turbo)
Removes factory limitations in torque management. Shift delay in manual mode is removed. Forced upshifts and downshifts in manual mode disabled. Aggressive shift points will maintain RPMS above 2k RPMS at most times to increase response. Sport mode remains in 5th until 6200+. WOT shift points optimized specifically for tuned is38 cars.
Honestly dont see me needing a protune dsg map, I think the OTS ones will suite me perfectly fine. But we will see once we dive more into them. The Sport one looks to be what i will be using the vast majority of the time.

Well, I bought the cobb and did a custom e-tune from MAPerformance, but I don't see any reason to get a pro-tune on the DSG. I will grab the DSG tune, but no spend another 400 on a custom tune from a tuner just for the DSG. Faster shift times,a nd different shift points in D will hopefully be enough for me.

Its so simple but other than clutch pressure being increased the other thing im most exited about is this:
On Dash Gear Indicator – A simple but highly requested feature. Flashing the DSG with an Accessport will add a transmission gear indicator to the center display on the dashboard for all drive modes.

No point just yet since only available map is Cobb's OTS. Not sure if that would be an improvment over APRs. I think when protuned maps is available and depending on results that would be a good time to switch.

I'm waiting to confirm with Stratified before purchase, but after that it's def happening.
I dont love the APR DSG tune.

And just got my email about the discount for helping. So time to call in and get the DSG upgrade.

I will be refreshing this thread hourly Dieing to hear people's first reviews, and comparisons against APR and such.

What do you not like on the APR DSG tune? APR sure gives a better marketing pitch. I know it's too soon to know what Stratified will offer as a comparison, but I'd still like to hear your APR impressions.

My ONLY QUESTION is.....

Posted this in my fb group- Installed “Aggressive”. D is usable now, sport is usable now around town. In manual, RPM seem to be a bit higher in gear- for example, where I used to stay in 4th going 50 because 5th would kind lug and be between 1500-1800RPM, now it’s around 1800-2000, so I get better gas mileage.
Didn’t even think to test lockdown button, but I’m pretty sure it’s disabled, by Cobb’s description. Also, haven’t launched yet.
