Because the DSG box in standard form forces the gear change before the engine has produced peak power

....Thanks . Even if the DSG box is being driven in Manual mode?

[SteveP]

^^^ Yep it still forces the change up

On a K04 and bigger yeah, the K03 wouldn't benefit obviously, but the benefit would come from having the full control over the gearchange..

The K04 in the ED30 will make power up to around 6800-6900rpm with a HPFP and extra breathing. The clutches start to prepare for disengagement and change in stock mode at around 6200 and so power after that is prevented up to the 6400 gear-up point. Hence the 10bhp extra with a DSG remap - which I would think is quite a conservative estimate.

....Hmm, I tend to change gear before she gets into the red zone and certainly before a gearshift is done without my intended action, so I haven't noticed this.

And thanks for the rpm info, Hurdy

What he said.. You can see on my RR graphs that the power line is still rising when the up shift spoils things.. Jonny's will see an even bigger benefit with it being modded for top end power..

Sorry for the possibly 'girlie' question displaying my ignorance on such subjects, but does using more of the available peak power reduce the longevity of the engine (assuming sensible, but not slow, driving and proper maintenance)?

[Sunglasses Ron]

Well my last three cars have all done around 100k each and have NEVER had engine trouble once...  Touch wood.  Ed30 is getting close to 30k without one single warranty claim also..

As promised...

What's the dip all about @ 5500rpm mate? 

[CocoPops]

Fuel Pump they said, it's common that the fuel pump cant push enough, so the engine steps it back and then when it can provide enough fuel it steps it up again.

Have been running the SC Bluefin for a few hundred miles now, so thought I'd share my thoughts.

I ordered my handset from JKM just as SC ran out of them so had to wait a little while for JKM to get their delivery. During this time there seemed to be a lot posts on this and other forums suggesting that people were experiencing problems so I started to worry a bit.

Anyway I did the upload at pretty much the same time as fitting the ITG foam panel filter. (By the way there have been opinions for and against this mod on the forum too - I've been in touch with ITG regarding the 'oil' on their filters in particular and their comments are now in my post on this [see 'Panel filter fitment - Edition30]. Very easy to do the upload (the remap is simpler than fitting the filter!).

Some people have mentioned the remap taking a while to 'settle down', with rough running for the first few days. I haven't experienced this at all... quite the opposite in fact; the car feels smoother to me right the way through the rev range in all gears. Even gear shifts (mine's a manual) feel more precise, bizarrely! Two passengers have also independently said that they think the car feels smoother. Overall it is just more 'driveable'.

The transformation is absolutely incredible! The car just feels more eager the whole time once you get above about 2,700rpm and if you keep it planted she just flies to the red line. Below that though and she's happy to trickle around town just as before.

Equally amazing though is the fuel economy. I've driven from Southampton to Bristol this afternoon and although I certainly didn't cane it (that's not my driving style) I did use the extra performance to good advantage on several occasions and when I got home the trip computer was telling me I'd averaged 37 (yes THIRTY SEVEN) mpg!!! I know the computer's not accurate (mine is optimistic by about 5%). On previous identical trips, though, I've returned about 31 at best.

If anyone's thinking about the Bluefin remap for an Ed30 I can't recommend it highly enough.

nice to see the graph 
be surprised they say its fuel issues at 5.5k rpm? by then it should be fine high enough revolutions, its at lower rpm it may have issues from the info Ive seen?
plus Nathans graph has no such change.
