I'm going to ask a horribly newbie question. I have a 2008 C2S Cab Tiptronic. I've never used the paddle shifters on the multi-function steering wheel. Do I need to lift at all when going through the gears or do I just put the pedal to the floor and shift when needed? Still have features I haven't used including PASM, Sport, etc. Looking to learn a bit here.

Why don't you try? Best way to find out.

no dont lift. but when youre downshifting be sure to not use any gas at all or you will start over reving

Not going to over rev a PDK.

I don't own a PDK or tiptronic so maybe I'm wrong on this but I believe you don't have to let off the gas to downshift. It's a fast and smooth gearshift. My wife's BMW has paddles and I don't let off the gas to shift that either.

You have to figure it out for yourself and see the effect of lift and no-lift especially on down-shifts. Sometime you may want one or the other depending on what you want to do.

It's an -08 so TIP, not PDK. As you say, the PDK won't allow it to happen but what about TIP in manual mode?

You wont overrev a tip either, manual mode or otherwise.
