But what about no upgraded parts and i am currently making 331 whp and 361tq. Can on just a email flash will i attain another 25 to 30 whp with just a tune without changing anything?
Check with @D-RobIMW but I'm pretty sure there is more potential for power with no upgraded parts.

R mode is not for dyno testing. You have to pedal dance it in sport.

Bringing this back from the dead. I'm going to put the fk8 on the dyno to see the numbers compared to where I lived before.

The shop here in Colorado most likely has never dynod the fk8...based on their question on what transmission I'm running lol.

So my question...is the above necessary, or can you just hold VSA to completely disable it?

The VSA/EPS shutdown doesn’t always happen, but it’s necessary to do the pedal dance if you want to be 100% sure it doesn’t.

R mode with VSA fully off. Parking brake on, even though I asked that they didn’t do that. The dip in the first run, the car jumped out of R mode and into sport. Wouldn’t go back into R mode.
I highly suggest the pedal dance method in sport mode.

Weird I didn't think you're supposed to have the parking brake on
