The DSG remap upgrade is a great addition to an already impressive gearbox. The remap gives the driver back full control in manual/sport mode, as well as enabling full use of the engine's power range.
The DSG gearbox remap includes the following features :-
The torque limiter built into the factory software has been increased to 500Nm (368lbft).
These limits are not hardware limits, but built in software limits from the factory. As with all our software, our DSG software operates within the safety tolerances set by the factory. In gear display is turned on (model dependant).
Kickdown has been disabled, giving more control over the car. The car will no longer select gears in manual mode. The driver has full control.
Auto upshift is also disabled, allowing the driver to upshift as and when they please. This gives more control to the driver and allows the full potential of power to be seen from the car.
When tuning the engine management system torque limiters are increased, however if the vehicle is equipped with a DSG gearbox the engine output will be limited by the torque limiter set in the DSG module. We raise the DSG torque limiter to match the engine torque output.
Shift speeds can be increased by up to 20%, this reduces lag and improves acceleration. The quicker shift speeds will also give a smoother transition between gear changes and improve paddle shift response time.
RPM limits and shift set points can be adjusted in drive and sports mode. Adjusting the rpm limiter as part of the engine ECU remap is not enough on a DSG equipped vehicle. The DSG ECU will determine at what rpm the gear shift takes place.
Launch control can be activated (model specific). Launch control will allow your car to make the perfect launch every time, reducing your 0 – 60 time and increasing the fun factor.
Even when in manual mode stock DSG software will force the gearbox to change up or kick down etc. With our custom DSG Remap we are able to give the driver full control by preventing auto changing when in manual mode (Model Specific).
