This sounds like an interesting mod but wonder if its worth it without an engine remap as the power and torque in my std ED30 tails of at the red line (6.5k). My DSG if left to its own devices wont change up until 6.7k or 6.8k at which point you can feel the power tailing off but the rev limit for the engine has not been reached, this alows me to manually shift at 6.5k. Just for info does anyone know what he rev limit is for both engine and DSG on a std ED30 as I know Hurdy stated his shifted at 6.2k before the mod? If I was going for this I would go for and engine remap to make the most of it. For you guy's with these mods at what revs does the power and torque tail off?
Cheers,

So does that mean with a DSG car that you need to have the DSG mapped and the ECU mapped with 'soft cut' removed to have a car that will pull a lot more strongly all the way to 7200 ? and if so which tuner offers 'both' and does this have a major impact on either DSG or Engine reliability ?
In other words, is it possible to have an car that's signifcantly better than a ED30 with just an ECU remap with 'soft cut' still in place by having two maps done and soft cut removed ??
sorry for the questions
Your feeling the soft limiter engaging, that isn't the turbo falling off..
The car will pull strong to 7200rpm no probs.. A lot of it is in the engine tuning too, most of the tuners out there dont remove the soft cut
