That's an excellent feature, especially if you have a spouse who doesn't pay attention. Mine luckily knows to keep her foot off the gas until the oil temp comes up.Besides being able to do performance tuning. You can turn on cool ECU features like limiting RPMs when when the coolant (or oil) temps are low.

Good job you guys.So we installed MPI, then used an open source flashing tool to flash a tune I made via a open source BIN editing tool. Everything worked as expected. MPI is enabled and working. Development of these tools by @joedubs and others is going strong. The tools work!
If you're interested in supporting the project, or just more information, contact me, @joedubs, or @aaronc7 (for the pops and bangs tunes).

Aggressive pops and bangs.
I feel like you all would be the best people to ask about this — I have a manual mk7 and I hate the rev hang between 1st and 2nd so much. Have you observed anything in the ECU that could be modified to make the revs fall faster when shifting?
Lately I’ve been trying to build a circuit to try to kill the rev hang, since I’m still under warranty, by fooling the clutch position inputs to the ECU. Still a work in progress though as the ECU is a hardass and lights up the EPC light in response to whatever I do, haha. I don’t know if it’ll even really work. But knowing there is a flash fix would help me shed a couple fewer tears when shifting in traffic![]()
Dang - thank you for replying though. Hopefully it's lurking in there somewhere. Otherwise it's trade-in timeHaven't seen anything in the software to deal with rev hang (but admittedly, I haven't been looking).
What I will say is that the clutch switches are much more of a nightmare than you think. There's a user on here that figured out the triggering so we could do a clutch start bypass. There's 2 magnetic switches that need to get triggered to tell the ecu the clutch pedal is pressed all the way. If they get triggered in the wrong order or one doesn't get triggered at all - EPC.
Not sure the clutch is where to look to deal with rev hang either. The ecu needs to know what gear you're in or if you're free revving so it knows how to control the engine.
