how to confuse a dsg??

Kickdown almost rids the whole idea of low down torque - as it always wants to shift down into the power range.
Am I right in thinking Revo now do DSG box software?

Officially at present no, but give it a few more weeks and there should be some news.
Other options are present are GIAC or HPA (not sure if HPA have any UK dealers for it as yet). :happy2:

This is exactly what I hate about the DSG. "D" is kind of sporadic and inconsistent. One minute it wil be economy the next it will be dropping the gears and accelerating like crazy.

....The solution is easy: Only use D when you are crawling in a traffic queue or gently in town/village, and otherwise use M and the paddles and think 'Manual' by shifting gear whenever you would in a conventional manual car. D is dull but very useful if you accept its limitations.

This is invariably what I do RedRobin. But I find myself becoming annoyed by M not being 100% true to its name.
For example...
* 1) There is still a kick down function
This is possibly the most annoying feature of the DSG box. Coming from a torque'y car I enjoy using low end torque to full effect, of which the edition 30 has plenty of. So I find it frustrating when I floor the accelerator at 3.5-4k (just as the turbo begins) in 3rd to find it dropping into 2nd for a bit of head snapping, high revving action. This has caught me out on a number of occasions.
* 2) Changing gear at redline
While enjoying B-roads this is sometimes an unwelcomed surprise.
Now I know number 2) can be solved with a DSG box remap. But can number 1)?
RedRobin:
^^^^
Yes, so can number 1) be solved by a DSG remap *cough* allegedly *cough* :wink:
[But now I've told you that, I'll have to shoot you! :wink:]
pazz:
Why the *cough*'s? I'm not following. Oh the joys of online chat.
I presume thats the GIAC DSG map? Maybe we need to get Hurdy in on this topic :happy2:
I find it most frustrating when leaving a 40 zone to enter a 60/70 zone.
