Default Tiptronic software upgrade?

Anyone here the NYC Metro area had this done?

Is it aftermarket software?

Where did you have it done? and how much $$$$?

thanks,

My personal experience in my '01 is it doesn't work. I've even tried to replace the TCU.

There are upgrades for the tip. Faster shift and able to handle about 800 HP @ the crank. Stock limit on HP is about 650 HP @ the crank.

If you go over to 6 spit..err speed find a guy by the name BlackhorseTurbo. He had a bad *** tip when he worked for vivid racing. He did lots of upgrades to the tranny to handle his HP.

When I installed the EVOMS ECU upgrade I also got their Tiptronic upgrade to handle the extra power from the ECU plus exhaust switchover plus MAF upgrade. Everything matches up.

Bigger turbos. 30+ more HP & Trq
Reg=K16. X50 or Turbo S or GT2=K24.
A slightly differant ECU map from reg turbo.

It was a 17K option. Kinda dumb for 30HP. But to a 2nd owner it's awesome because the K24 is a great foundation to start mods on. Espeacilly if you go to the 18G, 1bar W/Gs, differant filter, 5 bar fpr, & new DVs w/ a K24/18G tune.
