Anyone else notice lag? Even if you are flooring it, between shifts its like the car thinks for a second then puts the power back. Would a tune get rid of that? Does anyone elses stock TDI do this?

Yes lag. Usually it wont down shift then it downshifts 2 gears smokes the tires and off ya go. With a manual the lag shouldn't be like that obviously.

2013 TDI manual here. Yep. Ever since the recall mine has done this. Sucks but it's the price I pay to keep my warranty. Once I've passed my warranty period I'll tune it out with Malone.
