This was the best thing I have done to the car, vast improvement in shifting quality and more intuitive even in just D, even better in S and Manual mode. Before this the car was ok but did feel lazy and too smooth(hard to explain). But for anyone with the 205 my suggestion is go get 2TB coded ASAP! You wont regret it.
For what it's worth, VO coding 2TB on my 2011 did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. No change in shift points, shift programs, or feel whatsoever.

Yet, I read stuff like the above.

I have a theory. I do not have a DEC switch (econo/comfort/sport switch). Do you? I have a feeling that anyone without this switch gets no benefit from any coding.

XHP transmission tune, however, made a world of difference.
I dont have the sport/comfort switch. For me it was a noticable improvement. There is a certain crispness in the shifts now.
