Yeah, I would really like to know specifically what changes they are making. Gavin just used the term "improved shift strategy" when I asked about it weeks ago. That could mean any number of things or not much of anything. Lol.Sure hope the transmission tuning is improved because I think it’s not very good right now and I’m on the latest calibration as of May 2020.
Normal mode is the only mode I don’t have issues with. If I’m running backroads sport and track work great as they should. But they’re unusuable for daily driving. It was the same way on phase 1 tune I had installed last July. Nothing has changed from phase 1 to phase 2 iin that regards.Sure hope the transmission tuning is improved because I think it’s not very good right now and I’m on the latest calibration as of May 2020.
Well that's a tad disheartening.Normal mode is the only mode I don’t have issues with. If I’m running backroads sport and track work great as they should. But they’re unusuable for daily driving.

It was but I’ve gotten over it. Normal mode works flawlessly for me. Sport and track both shift super rough in the lower gears just casually driving around and gets confused. I took it out this week and ran it hard on some twisty Roads in sport and track and it worked great. I only ran it when it was stock in other modes because it didn’t have enough torque or aggression in normal when it was stock. That isn’t a problem with these Roush scs. Lots of torque. So no biggie.Well that's a tad disheartening.
I am not sure drag is now any better than normal. It certainly was when stock but the Roush cal I currently have has neutered it. I could easily use it as a daily except it also turns my exhaust to "track" and that gets too much attention unless I am alone on country roads.Yep I stay in normal now too, drag only at the track
Coming back from the gym iats were about 120 because its 114 out... wonder what that would translate to in Roushese
Somewhat temperature related, there was some killer chiller talk a while back. Are any of the p2 guys on here running one full time either due to climate or extreme track use? @Stymee I know you said you would if in the desert just wondering if anyone was in actuality.
Wow that's quite the testament.Delivery Man is in Orlando, He has one and LOVES it, sez the car is the same in HP in 100 degrees or 60 degrees
Good information. What number is your RS3? Mine is 79/351. I have the Stage II upgrade and just need to make appointment. Like you, very wary when bringing car to dealer. On another note, found the noise in 5th gear was vibration or NVH. Went over everything under the car and pulled the oil. No issues that I can tell. Does shift fine so will adopt wait and see.So, I emailed Roush last week about any updates for my car along with my VIN.
Gavin got back to me and told me there were updates for my car and said that they would be free of charge from both Roush and the dealership. Roush pays the dealership to do them.
He wouldn't/couldn't tell me what the updates were unfortunately. I asked him a couple of times. I'm not so sure that I want to mess with the car anyways. It runs, so good right now. Plus, I HATE, HATE, HATE bringing my car to the dealership. Haven't done that in like 10 years now. We'll see.
I'll have to check. If I recall correctly it is a low number build for 2019.Good information. What number is your RS3? Mine is 79/351.
I have a 19 RS3 #94 and it needed a calibration update from the one the car came with. It was done in May 2020. There is going to be another updated calibration coming out in 1-2 months according to Roush. The calibration is more for the transmission tuning so it may not be as important since you have a manual.Good information. What number is your RS3? Mine is 79/351.

That new Cal is supposed to be out quicker then August but it wouldn’t surprise me if it got delayed, Gavin said we could see it hopefully by July sometime....I have a 19 RS3 #94 and it needed a calibration update from the one the car came with.
