I mentioned this to my wife in the past: the need to always be very deliberate on left turns to ensure the rpms are high enough when one let's go of the clutch, otherwise the car could stall in front of oncoming traffic. And I had thought of calling/writing to complain about this very issue.
So I am hopeful this might fix the problem but also wonder if it may negatively impact other throttle-related characteristics.

yes there was a stalling issue on 2019 manual GTI, guess it applies to 2019+. I didn't have any stalling issues but got the SW update.
