From what I expierienced the TCS is working great. It reacts to wheelspin properly in the different 3 modes.
Full on means "nanny mode" and any wheelspin or drift angle is imediately supressed. Even my grandpa would have a hard time in spining the car on a wet road.
In sport mode a pretty good drift angle is allowed. It might be possible that the steering angle is not rated, for sure it behaves different. But I dont see this as a missing function. I like this version of the Sport Mode more than OEM. The factory Sport Mode of the 86 was not usable for my driving style. Therefore when I was going to have a fast drive on the road, I used the full off mode. After the swap, the sport mode is what I expect from such a function. It allows spirited driving, some wheel spin and some drift angle. But still the TCS will cut power once wheelspin is too excessive. Sure, there is a higher chance to spin the car. But if you ask me, this possibility is something the driver needs to be aware of if he selects the sport mode. Also, the aggressiveness of the TCS can be adjusted through the Translator for both modes. So it is possible to adjust it to the tire of your choice, what I did. On a dry road I have to do a good start until the clutch is fully closed. Once this point is reached, I can just push the pedal fully down and the car is accelarating like hell with a mild, constant wheelslip controled on an optimal level. Since the swap, I use sport mode most of the time when I want to have some fun the road, despite I intensinally want to drift. And I also intensionally say "road" and not "track" where I use sport mode. This beeing said, on a good, smooth road beeing dry and having some temperature in the tires and on the road, a TCS is not realy necessary once the start was good and clutch is closed. Enourmous difference in dry grip between Michelin PSS and Federal RS-R. Switching tires lowered the 0-60 time by more than 1s.
Track is a different story and all off still means all off.
So In my book this is a fully functional system...
Only thing I didnt try yet is if pedal dance is still working and has still any effect. I would guess no. To be honest, besides the flickering VCS light I never felt any effect of Pedal dance mode on or off compared to full off mode. Even not OEM and not only on track but also when doing drift sessions.
