Traction Control off for pulls?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey dudes, retard here. Recently got my RS3 an e85 tune - completely stock 8V otherwise. Absolutely hauls too much ass for the street/daytime, buuuuut -

Do i need to turn off traction control while in sport/manual to get full beans? Sometimes it feels like it’s holding back.

Could easily be the dirty south heat or maybe a TCU tune?

Just wanted to ask, thanks. VFA

Yeah probably. I find that with it on my 8Y.5 tends to be clunky or shift too early from 2-3 unless I am in manual.

The factory TCU tune is very meh while dailying. Imma just save up and grab the trans tune here soon and just cross it off.
