Glad to hear that you've got the Milly fitted Steve! Looking forward to seeing/hearing it at the pod! :smiley: :smiley:

Superchips always were conservative about that for DSG boxes, any idea why that thinking has changed?
I bet its silly quick now :happy2:

Cheers John_O, yep just complete my first long drive from home down to work in central london and it's like a totally different car :happy2:
From what I understand it's not a change in thinking its down to new development they have done as previously they couldn't overcome a torque limitation the Bosch ME9 ECU was applying when combined with the DSG box.

Oh and Red, i'm sure you look for any excuse to put a post of some fit piece up... :xmaslaugh:

Thanks Ben. Only a couple of short underpasses so far but will be going out of town under the A40 Hanger Lane tunnel tonight which should be fun :driver:

Thanks Chris :happy2:
The tail pipe's are sitting a little high so I am going give it couple of days to see if it's drops a bit otherwise it's going back in for some adjustment, but the sound is truely awesome :xmassmiley:

....Obviously Superchips know what they are doing (though T_T wouldn't agree!) but is it a good idea to lift the torque limitation on a DSG?
The DSG box of tricks is exactly the same for both GTI and Ed30 as I understand it.

^^^ I know what you’re saying Robin and that was exactly might thoughts but I got to spend time with right people at SC (including the technical director, development team and engineers) to understand the process and the amount of testing and development that had already gone into this.
I didn't want to be a guinea pig and find I was going to be having problems further down the line due to being a bit over excited by big numbers.
My torque is only about the same level as is quoted for Revo Stage 1 (IIRC) so I don't think it's massively high anyway, but is a massive increase over my previous map.
Also looking at the graph the way the curve starts upto about 2.5K is very similar to the previous limited map (and very similar to a pre-map graph I have as well) so I feel happy the way it's being delivered gradually into the mid range is going to be OK for me and the DSG box.
In addition I will also be getting more frequent DSG services done as a bit of precaution.
But like anything when modifying a car I know and understand the risk’s involved. :happy2:
