Tiptronic mod?

Just out of curiousity, has anybody (or company) thought of a module to make the tiptronic shift faster. GIAC makes them for the VW tiptronics and alot of people stated they would shift about as fast as a motorcycle. I looked into buying one for the 02 Passat I had. They ran about $400 or so.

VB mod....all the shifts besides the one into overdrive (top gear) are controlled by the valve body. The last shift is electronic. VW must have all their shifts electronically controlled to do that.
