Reckon on around 10bhp extra :happy2:

....How does a DSG remap gain 10 bhp?

Because the DSG box in standard form forces the gear change before the engine has produced peak power :happy2:

....Thanks :happy2:. Even if the DSG box is being driven in Manual mode?

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. :smiley:

^^^ Yep it still forces the change up :smiley:

....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 :happy2:

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..

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)?

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