Weistec tranny upgrade?
Anyone upgraded their tranny and tcu using weistec? I am interested in the tcu amd tranny mod but haven't heard much about it on this forum? I am looking at the basic mod not the torque converter swap yet. Thanks for input. I am looking for the neck snapping shifts like an aventador......

I have both the transmission upgrade and Valve body (TCU) upgrade. Car shifts smoothly and quickly.

In Manual mode, it should only downshift when the rpm's get to a point where the engine would stall. At least it is like that for my car, usually around 1200 rpm.

Where you can get unstuck is taking a corner slowly and it changes down to first on you, pulling out of a corner in first is not ideal, particularly if you are not expecting it. Given the car takes off in second in comfort mode, not sure it's about stalling.

The benefit of what - the MCT vs torque converter or the tranny TCU flash on an MCT? The MCT already shifts pretty aggressively in S+ or M and rev-matches on the downshifts, so there isn't much you can do to it...

Yes, I have the MCT and it was upgraded with Weistec. Both the Transmission and valvebody. before the upgrade, and I think anybody with an MCT knows this, between 3rd and 4th gear when the tranny is cold (upshifting or downshifting) you would feel a little tranny hesitation. Even if you went to the dealer, they would tell you that this is normal. On Downshifting, the tranny would feel a little heavy on all gears. After the upgrade, that has completely vanished. Car shifts perfectly and smoothly. upshifts and downshifts are very quick. Shift times are much quicker and makes the car overall faster.
BIG improvement. its something that you can actually feel. I will post a video of my RPM while my MCT is shifting.
