Just throwing my experience in as well.
2018 GTI, EQT stg1 91 (v2.51), EQT DSG Tune, ARM FMIC, everything else is stock.

I regularly see 2.8-4.1 degrees on casual pulls until it downshifts. On WOT pulls it usually doesn't go above 1.8-2.1 degrees though unless I'm starting from a dead stop.
The car has 29,500 miles on it with original spark plugs and coils, but I get misfire codes more often than I'd like. Once even putting me into limp mode when I tried to take off (about 75% throttle) from a light. New coils and plugs are in the mail, but if those don't fix it, any ideas where to look next?
