Mine "only" has a 7,200 limit. Plenty for me though :evilgrin:

It means I can drop out from a mere 7k revs, slap bang into the middle of the power band :innocent:

1st to 2nd only though :wink: keeping it legal. :rolleye:

There may also be another DSG tuner coming into the fray too :innocent:

Hi Fraindog and welcome to the forum. :smiley:

There are several US posting on You Tube with the DSG. These are shots of the HPA and GIAC DSG remaps and mainly concentrate on the rev counter. One or two do show the speedo as well.

Suffice to say that the DSG remap is well worth it for the money if you have a modified Edition 30. The benefits for the standard K03 turbo'd GTI are less pronounced, but still give you swifter shifts. 8)

I was at Regal Autosport yesterday for the Giac DSG software, and I've gotta say if you have a DSG with a remap this should be the first thing you should be spending your money on (you need the map to get 7000rpm+), Hurdy is 100% right, I cant think of a better way to improve the cars performance for the money.

Looking forward to getting deep into the red on the next trackday and some sprints at Brunters, see you there John, side by side???  :happy2:

Excellent Neil,

Great to see someone who can at last echo my sentiments on the DSG remap.

Last one down the strip pays for the Hobnobs Neil :grin:

....Me too. It's perfect. Great concept but I feel it looks unfinished in that the figure and VW wheelchair outlines need filling. Would you like me to do something with it and PM you for your approval, Neil?
