Is this normal?

Hello,

I have a 2012 Turbo S and I'm not sure if what I'm feeling is normal or not...

I had a Softronic Tune and I went back to stock, and when I did I unplugged battery for 10 minutes and then reconnected and cleared all codes... but I'm feeling two weird things;

1. I put the car on Manual (Moving it to the left), M lights up on the dashboard, but the car still shifts automatically when I go high RPM's... I don't remember this happening before?

2. I feel as if the PDK isn't as fast as it should be? Feels like its slipping or something of that sort... Like it doesn't snap when gear shifting but rather slips?

Could this be a ECU related issue?

Also, how come if I let the car go down on fuel to almost empty and then put gas in it, it doesn't show until I completely fill it up again?

Please help me, I'm concerned about this and I'm not sure what could be the cause...

RollingThunder is infamous around these parts
My car shifts automatically when I hit redline even if the PDK is in M mode. Pretty sure that is normal.

Thank you,

After a little research it seems auto-shift is normal if you step on the pedal all the way and in Manual.

Also, it seems fuel gauge not registering is also normal, manual says you have to fill it up in order to register again.

But does anyone know if there's any special things I can look at in the PDK part? Maybe look something in Durametric? How do I know it's working properly?

It just feels weird when the car changes gears when going fast feels like the gear slips and doesn't feel fast as it should...

Thanks.
