Great writeup Steve  :happy2:  pics / vids and dyno plots what more could we want  :drinking:
reckon if yours was locked out in gear (any reason why they didnt?) it would get close to Greenys with a few more rpm  :evilgrin:
Greenouse thats the first time EVER I have seen your car dirty  :surprised:
Like the idea of reduced hp in first 3 gears option  :party:
i suspect Mr Mc will be along in a bit to 'discuss' your figures  :grin: , reckon we def need another RR day soon  :jumping: (clutches permitting......)

Cheers John_o.  :happy2:

From what I understand, their test gear for the dyno is 5th so the DSG box will still change even in manual mode before it runs out of steam/produces peak power, also they also showed me where on the dyno graph you can see where the car drops the power slightly before the gear change ready to disengage the clutch if also affects the peak output.

clutch thing pah! its keeping me up at night now arghhhh :sad:

mmm interesting 5th gear runs, I thought in locked mode it wouldnt change gear my mistake!
Read some interesting things on golfmkv about this modulation of the DSG clutch mech.
one poster stated the box can handle 650Nm when modded clamping pressures and the OE power reduction are changed  :jumping: its just the start. wonder when DSG software mods will start happening this side of the pond ...

All interesting stuff, well been shifting at 6500rpm for last few days and no ECU lights since so hmmm ... haven't changed the maps over yet. Bit concerned now regarding the clutch issue discussed elsewhere here.

Yes nice power there Greenouse, informative and interesting topic - especially the pics and vids.  Interesting about what people say about 1st and 2nd gears, don't have any issues in these gears.  In fact 2nd is quite strange as full boost doesn't seem to arrive until at least 5000rpm which makes the gear a bit redundant and harsh if anything would prefer a second gear map akin to the stock and then 3rd - 6th as they are as now.  When you said that they were not happy with the new map they tested can you elaborate on this - Why ? What did they change ? Effects ? etc.

Regards,

Gareth

Great read! (although I'm not a neddy numbers chaser)

Aren't you two guys up against each other at The Pod?

DSG s/w mods will be interesting.

I was surprised too but stood and watched/heard it for myself because they then have to change it down back to 5th straight after the forced change up to let the rollout cycle finish so the dyno can calculate the drivetrain loss, the other thing is even in manual/locked mode it can still kick down as well if you push to the end of the pedal too hard.

It was exactly the same at JKM on their DD rollers  :happy2:

Looks like an epic day, good to see the customer service there is still as excellent as ever. A great bunch up there in Buckingham.  :happy2:

I may be tempted back there one day, but I'll get the Cooper S & Landy 130 sorted first. Resding stuff like this really doesn't help me keep my wallet in my pocket though......  :driver:

Now that is what I call a day out :happy2:

Interesting about the difference between the two cars and most noteworthy is the fact that the DSG gears up before the peak power is reached. The DSG remap that has recently been launched in the USA would be a welcome modification over here in the UK if that was the case

Increased clamping
Increased limiter to 7k+ rpm
fixed gears in manual mode
60% faster gearchanges

What is not to like? (apart from the possible price :laugh:)
