Hi Simon,

I think you'll find that the person in question wanted the car to be mapped according to his specific needs and was not going for all-out performance (I'm sure he'll correct me if I misunderstood his requirements) so the TT hybrid is not actually being stretched to its limits by any account. I think the majority of people who go for 19Ts do that because they really don't know of any alternatives and in some cases are certainly advised against them. There is always an element of reaching into the unknown with something completely new, and tuning companies rather stick with methods / equipment they are used to as it makes it a lot easier to work with.

I would also like to add that having been in the car in question, it certainly is no slouch - the mid range is VERY impressive.
