I dont know...just thinking out loud.
Also, a sidenote: I brought mine to the shop yesterday. I currently have no mods on it and 2200 miles or so. I was driving in regular mode and the tranny just acted as if it was in neutral...engine on...revving...no action with the tranny...engine light came on...stayed in 6th gear...I rolled to a stop on the side of the road...Shut it off a few times. Totally weird...started it up...put in gear...nothing? Then finally I got it to "GO" and drove it to the shop. They had to reset the computer. The sales manager is driving it today for me to make sure I have no other issues....Weird though.
Anything like that happen to you....In certainly not complaining about the PDK.
So about my possible purchases...let me know...thanks again.

Hi D and at least you're out there and driving
Glad you've got some miles on it... To me it sounds exactly like the transmission jumped straight into limp mode (due to some sort of fault) and that's what it was like that. I've been there during dyno testing myself hehe. See if you can find out what the fault was caused by but sounds like it's ok now?
In terms of the mods you're about right in terms of 50% or so value for using it and selling it on...
The exhaust stuff is really easy to do (takes about an hour) and doesn't void any warranty either. It'll improve the sound some as well (check out the video and link below):

As far as the tuning side goes, it took a lot of work to eke anything out and I've had a few folks drive it and say ours is certainly reflective of the results that we got (check the thread below):

I wouldn't hold your breath for too long on a PDK TT because it'll be a while IMHO. I don't believe in current form that this transmission can hold the desired torque on a TT.
