(Of course this problem disappears when the foot is lifted off the throttle during the upshift, but that is not optimal).

What's the proper DCT manual upshifting method then?

Thanks
With harshest Sequential mode setting (S3) and MDM enable, as soon as I see the yellow bars on HUD, I shift it up! It's lots of fun
I think the best time to change the gear (up shifting) is at 6000 RPM!
