For those who are running the eurocharged V5 tune

How does this throttle blipping work? Do i have to be in manual mode or sport? I was driving around in sport and when i was slowing down i didn't hear/feel anything different?

hehehe,
Downshift using the paddle shifters in Sport or Manual mode. The car simply rev matches much more aggressively - hence the throttle blip.

Sport will downshift more aggressively based on your braking. Brake hard from high speed like you are going into a corner and it will drop down gears as you slow.

As Kriston mentioned, the downshifting must be handled manually (paddles) to take advantage of the "blip".

Aww got it! Thanks guys! Another question is there a certain mileage or anything of when the ECU will fully adapt and take full advantage of the tune?

Nope, the car will go from wow to WOW immediately after the tune. No need to let it adapt or anything. No going from race gas back to pump gas, you need to take it easy and let it adapt...

For V5 users with FL cars - does the enhanced blip only happen in M and S+ . . . ie no blip in S or C?

In my experience, only M (unless as mentioned above you manually, paddle downshift in S+). And also only 4th gear and lower, IIRC. I drive mostly in S+ and I still get it every once in a while, if I'm driving more aggressively, and maybe it's on more aggressive braking, not sure. Regardless, it sure is fun...

I wish they could remove throttle blipping. I dislike it, so loud with headers.

I'm sure you can tune it back to v4, since afaik v5 is a v4+transmission update.
