DSG limiting power and torque on a remap

[chris s]

Sorry mate, misread it on my phone. I am just hunting for the power or torque i feel is  missing from my car and hoped this was the key

[heavyd]

Have you had it on a rolling road yet chris to see what it is actually putting out?

[chris s]

I've had it logged quite a bit but just not had the chance to get it over to Dave on his rolling road yet. With the new plugs and coils my timing advance doesn't go above 3 now so happy with that. I know your suggestion is right though

Timing advance or timing pull?

[chris s]

You are correct, I was timing pull I meant to type not advance, either way where  was showing upto +7 degrees it is never higher than +3.5 [and that is only vey briefly].  All other metrics seenm Ok too, Boost is spot on, etc

[PDT]

do you know if load values were as expected? got a copy of the graphs?

[chris s]

Can't remember exactly but everything checked was as it should be mate... when i get the chance i will get some time.on your.rr

[heavyd]

Was it only plugs and coilpacks you changed to get that timing pull down?

Evening guys, old thread revival!

Can anyone with any revo contacts or advice help me out here please.

I have revo stage 2+ (k03) and since the map was loaded I have had issues, firstly was the low torque figure (288ftlbs) but more worryingly was the issue once going form 3rd to 4th gear there is a delay or lag as such before the power comes back in again. The dealer after me complaining about it logged the car and said everything logged fine, but that the mechatronics was becoming 'lazy' and was on its way out. So after many months (april till august, long story) i had it replaced. Guess what, still the same. He is now persisting on me having the dsg mapped to cure the issue as he is now telling me the dsg cannot keep up and that is what the delay is. I have already queried on whether the torque limits have been removed on the file and he has said there is no adjustment besides timing, boost and fuel and the file is ready direct from revo and it definately is the correct file. I have told him that i want a second opinion and he has said that one of the file developers from revo are due in mid september and that i can ask him, but he will tell me the exact same.

Info on car

K03
70k (full documented history)
new rev g dv
new pcv
bcs sport turbo back powervalve with 200cel cat
revo intake
autotec fuel pump internals
airtec intercooler
ngk iridium plugs
ran on shell v power or tesco momentum 99 always.

Can anyone shed any light on whether I am in the right to be persueing this, or is it for definate that I need to have the dsg remapped? If i need to have the dsg mapped, can anyone tell me if there is a difference in torque limits from vw on a k03 to a k04?

Thanks in advance

Sorry to be a pest, but does anyone have any suggestions?

[Beej]

Just incase anyone is interested, route cause was found by another tuner and proven with logging the car that the throttle was being closed by the software. Revo dealer was unable to find this

So did you end up having the DSG mapped somewhere else or just the stage 2 sorted by a different mapper?

[Dan_FR]

Why was the software causing the throttke to shut? Very weird

No, there was no need to put a dsg map on, as the car is no where near hitting torque limiters. The problem was resolved with different software

They tried to find that out but couldn't. Reckon either the software was set for a manual car rather than dsg, or possibly just a glitch. On checking actual values, it was going from 100% to 40% on gear changes, which was causing the issue. We found it very weird too
