DSG Remapping
DSG (Direct-Shift Gearbox) Types
There are a several variation of DSG's across the VAG vehicle range. Some DSG gearboxes lead themselves more to tuning than others so to help determine which gearbox you have, we have listed the types below along with a short description:
DQ250 - This is fitted to most 6 speed DSG models from 2003-present
DQ400 - This is based on the above DQ250 but is mainly used in the Golf 7 GTE (hybrid) and the Audi A3 E-tron (hybrid)
7 Speed
DQ200 - This is the only 7 Speed DSG with a dry clutch. This gearbox can be found in all cars with a maximum torque of 250 Nm and a maximum engine capacity of 1.6 litres. Unfortunately we are not able to tune these due to their 'dry clutch' design.
DQ500 - This is a heavier transverse 7 speed DSG. It can be found in the VW Transporter 2009-present, Tiguan, Audi RS3, TT-RS and Q3.
DL501 - This is the largest and heaviest 7 speed DSG. Fitted to large longitudinal Audi models with Quattro A4, A6, A7, S4, S5, RS4 and Q5.
DQ380 / DQ381 - These are smaller versions of the DQ500 and used in the VW Golf Mk7 R/S3 since 2016/2017.
Higher Torque Limit
Most DSG Gearboxes have a set torque limit of 360nm (265ft/lbs) meaning tuned cars will be limited to this figure even if the engine is wanting to produce more. We can increase this torque limit to 500nm (368ft/lbs) or in some cases remove it completely.
Forced Up Shift
Even in manual mode the DSG gearbox will automatically change up at a set RPM. This doesn't always suit everyone's driving style and can be quite annoying. We can set this to a higher RPM or disable it completely. Ideal for track or fast road use.
Launch Control
To get the perfect set off we are able to reprogram the DSG to a certain RPM limit when stationary. When set at the correct RPM limit the car will have a perfect balance of power and grip to get a quick set off with minimal amount of wheel spin.
