Works great in my '13 4.0t. I put the trans in manual mode though. It still shifts automatically it just waits a couple of hundred rpms later than sport.

Keep in mind this isn't launch control like a DSG car would have. You have to hold the brake pedal down very hard to keep the car from creeping. You might hear the brakes groan a little as they are holding back a lot of ponies.

Then that explains everything. lol I'm expecting the rpms to chill at 4K until I release. That clears up a lot haha
