DSG remap on sale in the USA

[MAT ED30]

You keeping something to yourself Ben?



Robin, my understanding is that the DSG will not change up automatically in manual mode with the remap. It will do in sport and drive though.

HE has had it done lol

[jonnyc]

Yeah there will be something available soon..   BEN! haha..

The standard DSG system is fantastic from a technical / mechanical point of view but it can be improved so much in so many ways.. Thats what HPA have done..

@ Hurdy.. The DSG car will change up automatically in all modes, hence its impossible to hit the 'lowered' 6500rpm rev limiter..

This is what I want from a DSG re-map.. (some of which the HPA map features)

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

Where does one get this fitted? Sounds rather good

This is gonna be ben's secret weapon for the pod!

Chap on mkv forum has dyno's with 20hp increase after hpa stage 2, kind of explains the difference in stevp and greenouse figures

You make it sounds like the DSG box is slow.... I know what you mean though.

It would be cool if you coudl switch between modes, I like the sound of a more revving D mode

[RedRobin]

^^^^
A more revving D-mode seems to defeat the whole reason for having D-mode. Also it's the low revs which are supposed to result in more fuel economy.

I only ever select D for traffic jam crawls/queues or through villages/towns and I then want it to be lazy and low revving. If I want sharper revs I can use S-mode, or M to select as desired manually.

[neg]

S mode is too harsh sometimes - ETTO in the way we use it, ok maybe a more subtle S mode... hell I dont know!

Maybe I'll be happy with a D, S and then A B & C for different days 

Its late.. I'm off to bed 

[RedRobin]

^^^^
Lots of people say they find S too harsh sometimes but I don't - Probably because I don't stay in S for long and shift to Manual.

....I've noticed that most people here seem to off to bed by midnight.

I'll come in with ya there Jonny. Then Mat will be buying the death burgers at Pod..

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?

[john_o]

makes you wonder Ben what your car would run 1/4,  with the reduction removed and a faster change !!!!! 

[tony_danza]

I don't know if I'd want or need most of the remaps features, but still I find myself falling back to the one real benefit..

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?
