2019 with DSG here, APR plus. Flashed with the BETA first and then V2.0. I had the lift off sound as soon as the ECU was tuned. It sounds like someone is choking a goose. It only occurs when boost is building and you let off of the throttle. Both versions.
What is interesting is that is inconsistent. I think “ChuChuChuChuChu” is a pretty good representation of the sound. My girlfriend noticed the sound as a passenger. She asked if something was wrong with the car. This is my third tuned VW and I never heard this type of sound before.
On a second note, V2.0 seems like it is a wee bit slower. My butt dial goes hand in hand with Yamaha's data. I went to V2.0 to address the mid-throttle surge at approximately 3500 RPM. It is still present. My best guess is that the software does not like the the variable timing. Better than stock but could use some refinement.
What type of intake is installed, if any?
