after getting fed up with various dsg niggles eg
slowish gear change in drive, manic revs in sport, always being in the wrong gear slowing at a junction (auto mode of course) i was looking at getting it remapped.
regal have some dsg software editing tools and i found out that autograph cars in burnley work closely with regal, so i got autograph/regal to do me a custom dsg remap. they havnt done diesel ones before so i may have to make a few tweaks yet - this is version 1
i have a big turbo as well, so often found the turbo was off boost in drive mode so i requested:
1) quicker gear changes in drive, sport and manual
2) torque limit increased to 500nm
3) top revs change-up increased by 300rpm
4) in manual mode at full throttle the car doesnt auto change gear in 4th, 5th or 6th - it will bounce off the engine revs limiter like a proper manual
5) drive mode change points moved up by 200-300rpm so that my revs are usually slightly higher - this keeps the turbo in a better less spool-up mode
6) launch control on and changed to 2500rpm
does it work - yes
the gear changes are sharper/snappier but not jerky
it completely changes the way the car drives in auto mode now - as you slow down it drops gear earlier - so at 40mph it never drops to 6th, at 30mph it stays in 4th - and as you slow it drops the gears a bit earlier so that my bigger turbo is kept at around 1800-2000rpm ready to take off easily. it also drops a gear at a lesser throttle input where as before you put your foot down a bit, nothing happened so you gave it some more gas, then it decided to drop a gear and give you 360lb/ft just at the wrong moment.
no more arriving at a roundabout at 15-20mph in 6th and having to wait for it to drop a gear or 2 to pull away (was much worse with my big turbo which was always off boost at this point)
cost £395 - worth every penny.
need to drive around a bit and probably tweak the gear change points a little more but even at version 1 its a big improvement
contact either regal autosport (south) or autograph cars (north) if you are interested
