well here is my issue, since the last upgrade I always thought it felt a little slower in the low gears, so I'm now a little concerned they gave me the dsg map, I guess I'm ranting a bit, but 3 hours trying to download the map and bottles of kopparberg just don't seem to mix  :jumping:

 :grin:  I can tell i dont think i have ever seen your eyebrows raise on here. if you have the wrong map a few more days wont make much difference it is a safer map anyhow i believe.
I am also on the same pear cider and its making me go the opposite way.  :grin: it does make my cheeks flush though for some strange reason.  :ashamed:

Well had an email from Bluefin this morning 7.45 am  :happy2: , they have just ensured i now have the correct map for a stage 1 non DSG car, the same config as a car they did last week apparently , i just emailed them to ask if the DSG cars use the same map as the non DSG too, i feel better for knowing all is ok  :happy2:

Morning

 

Do you have any anti-virus/firewalls active?  If so please turn them off.  Also if you’re running Vista please log in as the administrator and then run the bluefin software in Windows Compatibility mode.


If this still doesn’t work please go to TOOLS -> read original and this will save a copy of your original to your C:\ drive which you can email through and I can reply with the upgraded file.

 

We had you listed as a DSG file so this will now effectively convert you to the manual conversion so you will notice a big increase in the low down torque.

 

Let me know if I can be of further help.

the reply about the DSG/Manual question  :happy2:

Quote
Ahh know what you mean there ;).  The original calibration read from a manual or DSG car is exactly the same but up until last weeks testings they had different re-maps.  However they now have the same re-map irrespective of gearbox type.

 

Hope this helps.

I got an early version of their revised vanilla GTI DSG map a few months back based on a VWR map (I believe). I was massively impressed when swapping it for the existing one, it was like night and day. The power delivery is nice and linear and there's no initial shove of torque down the low end.. just a nice controlled delivery which is great for corner exits and the like as you get the power down better.

I wait with baited breath if they're going to improve it!

Here's my RR graph, it hasn't been smoothed properly though.

Sideways yo!

OK folks, got it loaded on and just been for a drive,  :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:, well they have definitely given it the low down torque back, very happy with it at the moment, and will be testing it further later  :xmasrolleyes:

Superchips ED30 / DSG Remaps
« Reply #56 on: December 24, 2008, 10:13:59 am »
Hi Guys, first post :laugh: I have been invited on by 182_blue to explain recent developments.

Up until recently we had a different remap for ED30 with DSG gearboxes. This was primarily not to protect the gearbox but to avoid the torque limit which would ultimately limit top end power also. We have now altered this limit so we can run the same power and torque on manual and DSG cars.

Further to the above we have found that we can gain even more poer on the ED30 with a good quality exhaust. This has become known as level 2.

We have revisited the whole of the 2.0TFSI range and have found that we can also affer a level 2 on a regular GTI with a good quality exhaust system.

If  you have not been contacted and feel you should have been please email files@superchips.co.uk with your bluefin serial number and advise what level of tune you require.

Power curves for all levels should be available on www.superchips.co.uk today.

Additionally, our 20% offer has been a great success and I am pleased to anounce that we are extending this offer through January 2009. Stocks are limited but we will honour this price even if we are unable to supply immediately.

Lastly a note on Superchips' forum policy. Our staff are not generally permitted to enter into online debate as we believe a forum is for enthusiasts to enjoy and discuss opinions openly without influence of those with self promotion or commercial intersts at heart. We will always answer PM's or emails and obviously telephone enquiries with pleasure.

:xmassmiley: I wish you all a very Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.

Jamie Turvey, Technical Director. Superchips Ltd
