This was a quote from an old thread,it made me curious,thanks guys.
Note I'm not 100% sure about what I'm about to say, maybe 50-75%.

Yes it will force it to go into "sport" mode, but if you drive it in, umm, a non spirited manner it will go back to the regular mode. You can force it to always be the the sport mode 100% with a vagcom, IIRC. It is an adaptive transmission and it reacts to how you drive it. I set mine for the sport mode (maybe 6 mos ago) and I prefer the way it is now compared to before. It shift later, but thats about all I notice.
