I've only had my 180TTQ for about one week now, but I'm noticing that the revs don't drop fast enough on upshifts. It's not conducive to quick shifts at all...

I seem to recall some magazine article referencing this behavior as well - wondering if others here have seen this, whether the cause if mechanical or electrical, and if there's workaround?

That is "as designed" or so I have read somewhere.
Maybe to keep engine power up, after all it is
a small 4 cylinder.

I have a 180Q and have learned to deal with it.

And agree that I've heard it is deliberately tuned into the car, as a tactic for keeping the turbo spooled up and thus minimizing turbo lag.

I, too, could live without this "feature". I find it makes it difficult to match revs during quick downshifting. I have learned to anticipate it, but I think its a gimmick to mask the feel of a small engine--and I would rather the engineers had decided to celebrate the small engine instead.

I notice this mosty in the 1-2 shift when Im really stomping it...Ill lift to go into second, and get 1000 more RPM....annoying at best....

My TTQ revs drop a bit too fast when upshifting so I blip the throttle slightly to match the revs.
