RE: how much can a tip take
 

I agree, look at my sig, or wait, is it in my sig? Anyways, I got tip, wish almost everyday that I would have gotten a manual, well, all except for when I drive to work in the morning (4:35a.m.). Wait...there seems to be one other advantage...wow, I just realized that me being lazy wasn't the only reason why I got the tip. Wow, now I don't have to beat myself up as much over buying a stupid TIPTRONIC!

hp and torque are different things ;) - k04 will put you at 265tq and with the upgraded pc-16 your lookin at 295tq

Sounds like everyone on here is right, 300 is about as high as you can go with TIP, stop crying about the manual in traffic, get a new job thats isnt in a city and youll be fine.

i dont live anywhere near the city, just in an area with lots if ignorant slow people and lots of trucks, if i find a manual ill take just because i dont really care if i drive stick or not, to me its really a status and respect thing. so im looking with tip and tuning to enough oomph or sticking with stick and smoking ricers

Im running a K04 in with my TIP and no problems, not very smooth in automatic due to the very sharp power curve, but i almost always drive it in TIP mode anyway.

I am very happy with my TIP and like SAudi's idea, I have it because of stop and go traffic here in Boston. I drive 75 miles round trip to work and about 45 of it is stop and go traffic. I would be doing clutch replacments every 6 months if they traffic and boston drives. Its always hurry up and go so you can come to a dead stop again. UGH

RE: how much can a tip take
 

why don't you guys stop turning every thread about tiptronic into a "you should have gotten manual" and just help the guy out with his question... it gets old, man.
