722.9 TCU Tune from Weistec

Hi guys,

I have recently come across this TCU tune from Weistec: https://www.weistec.com/7-speed-tcu-tune.html
I am running:
- RENNtech Stage 2 ecu tune
- Full 3” exhaust with race cats
- downpipes
- turbo backs
= 760 horsepower and about 1200 nm on the dyno (at the crank)

Do I need a TCU tune? I mean, is there anything that I will gain with it?
I am kinda undecided if there are any benefits of doing a TCU.

Thanks

"Is there anything I will gain with a tcu tune..."

So much to say, so little time.

you'll love it, plus you'll be able to really launch the car and get your 0-60 in the 2's

Already have it on my car. I can feel it shifts a bit faster, not a massive difference though. As for launching, what is the proper way of doing it without damaging the gearbox? I don’t have LC.

brake stall to about 2000 rpm then let off the brakes and mash the gas

I'm not sure that every tcu tune is created equally

This is extremely important and factual. Seen it too many times.

I am actually satisfied with a Weistec TCU tune. It does what they promised - faster and more firm shifting, also the torque is unlocked and finally I can feel that the power is there all the time. All in all, it’s working well. But don’t expect significant difference, it’s just little bit better, maybe few % faster times.
