when I flashed xHP with the factory throttle settings, my soft limiter would engage sooner than normal, around 6300 rpm. When I would flash the stock DCT tune, I did not have that issue. I asked xHP for help and they said it has nothing to do with their flash, even though I proved it was because of their flash.
I resolved the issue by raising redline in my flash.
I don’t know if linear throttle would have the same issue but I don’t see why it wouldn’t because the issue would occur with the xHP flash.
