Hi all,
Rik at Unicorn developments (UK) is currently working on a DSG map for my car, just to clarify this is the DQ200 7-speed dry clutch DSG box not the 6-speed DSG box in the S3's (Which I think Rik has already released a DSG map for).
Just wanted to let others know just in case they were interested also! My warranty runs out next month so now seemed like a good time to go ahead, these later dry clutch DSG's seemed to have all the early fixes rectified as far as I'm aware and some people pushing 260/270bhp with hard driving for nearly a year now with no issues.
With this in mind I've decided to take the punt and do it! I'm doing it to improve drivability in general and I spend a fair bit of time in manual mode so I've asked Rik if he could work on the doing the following (same as what is offered in other DSG maps in general):
Removal of automatic up-shift at the red line in Manual mode.
Eliminate kickdown in manual mode
Increased rev limiter
Eliminate the 'relaxed' gear changes below ~3,500 rpm as the car feels like it slips into next gear, not a sharp crisp shift as is in higher RPM, reduce to lower RPM e.g ~2,500 rpm.
Shift points in manual mode i.e be able to shift into 2nd gear earlier
Launch control (maybe)
Increasing clamp pressure is not something I'm interested in as I'm only ever go as far as a Stage 1 tune so feel its un-necessary, Rik says theres no reason to also.
For anyone that hasn't come across Unicorn Developments, they are amongst the best in the UK for remapping and tuning.
Cheers
SJ
