supraspeed Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 ok i'm thinking about getting a vvti tiptronic tt and after always driving manual cars inc my supe i was wondering what was the general opinion on the gear selection (manual mode or something) and is it any more/less powerful than a manual car without the vvti engine?

JustGav Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 The vvti tiptronic has a different ECU to the pre-vvti system. You would have to change loom, as well as either fitting a vvti engine or finding a way of frigging the vvti, then there is the FBW throttle....basically it is a LOT of work with a lot of issues.
