DSG remap on sale in the USA

--- Quote ---Raise the launch control to a specified RPM
Raise the rev limit to 7500RPM
Allow full driver control of up-shifts, no more automatic change up at the engine limiter
Disable the HUGELY annoying kick-down feature
Raise the torque limit to 500ft/lbs and get rid of the pulling back that high power/torque DSG cars experience
Sets the shift speed at max for all throttle openings
Speed up the response time from clicking the paddle to the box changing gear
Quicker downshifts
This is the biggy for me, can be so annoying on mine. Do you not get it Jonny, just after changing up about 4500-5000rpm under hard acceleration?

Yeah mine does it all the time, feels better now with the stage 2+ mapping though I have to say, much smoother..
There is still a lot left in my car, and I think almost all of it is going to come from the DSG! Really cant wait to get something sorted :happy2:

I'm not interested in launch control - totally understand why it's required for the S3/R32 owners though.
There's no point raising the limiter on mine, as power is tailing off by then - K04 stuff I'm sure it's a benefit.
I use D mode for economy, so I don't want that playing with. I have a boring 13 mile drive to work and get an average of 37mpg, I'd rather save fuel commuting to burn enthusiastically elsewhere.
But to be able to have 100% control over manual mode is exactly what I want. I wonder if the control box they're planning will allow you to spec individual features?

....That's exactly what I think too - I'm simply not interested in LC and I want D to remain as is otherwise it's pointless having it and S-mode will do nicely. Even more control over the M-mode would be a plus but I don't find it lacking on a K03 Revo'd GTI - Afterall I'm neither racing against other cars nor against the clock, but just making fast progress as conditions allow.

As far as I know the DSG map only changes the characteristics of the DSG when in M mode..
I think the map will make the car faster for sure, but mostly I would say the benefit would come in having full control over the car like a manual but with the added benefit of the DSG gearchange..

....Damn!! That sounds too good to pass over! However, I've never felt I was missing control of the gears in DSG-M but I've missed gears in the 300R you're currently driving, Jonny.
Good is good, but better is best!
Nurse! Nurse! I need help! There's lots of us here who need help. It should be called a ward, not a forum.
