You need a warm day and R1R's to get the best from launch control with a remap on an ED30 :smiley:

A dsg remap alters the software code in the dsg mechatronics unit whilst a "normal remap" codes to the ecu.

Both REVO and GIAC can do DSG remaps - I preferred the REVO one. :happy2:

Unless you like traffic light GPs and like lining the pockets of Mr Michelin and Goodyear, then it a pretty much pointless function.
