Interesting stuff. I’ve heard a DSG tune goes a long way and helps with power delivery.
In the same boat. Want to find someone reliable.Jackgti wrote: Wed Apr 28, 2021 11:00 pmInteresting stuff. I’ve heard a DSG tune goes a long way and helps with power delivery.
I am sat here fighting with myself on whether to get it done, wish I could drive one with a stage 1 to see the difference and whether it’s worth it
You can drive mine, but then you have to come over to the NetherlandsJackgti wrote: Wed Apr 28, 2021 11:00 pmInteresting stuff. I’ve heard a DSG tune goes a long way and helps with power delivery.

But I can strongly recommand it. This engine really needs a chip. And the combination with a DSG tune makes it really perfect. Essential is to have it done by a renowned VAG specialized company. In the Netherlands you can count them on one hand. I don't know about the UKThis is the issue, so many dealers just using someone’s product,I want it done now but I’m very very skeptical. Like it all these companies can offer a stage one with 250bhp and 420nm, why are companies like racing line and revo so slow behind?Rosinfield wrote: Thu Apr 29, 2021 6:23 amYou can drive mine, but then you have to come over to the NetherlandsJackgti wrote: Wed Apr 28, 2021 11:00 pmInteresting stuff.

I’ve been doing some research recently and found a couple companies in the Uk who do tuning with reputable companies, there’s on a little out the way for me but I’m willing to travel and they offer both APR tuning and TVS engineering tuning both I’ve looked up are very good.S_94 wrote: Wed Apr 28, 2021 11:32 pmIn the same boat.

TVS ENGINEERING STAGE 1 and stage 1 dsg remap providing 430nm and 260bhp £900 here on a dynoRosinfield wrote: Thu Apr 29, 2021 2:05 pm TVS is a Dutch company renowned for solving all kind of DSG issues. AKA the dsg doctor
Does seem quite expensive. All the well reviews tuning locations close to me charge between £300 and £400 for the ECU tune and a further £300 for a DSG remap.Jackgti wrote: Thu Apr 29, 2021 5:17 pmTVS ENGINEERING STAGE 1 and stage 1 dsg remap providing 430nm and 260bhp £900 here on a dynoRosinfield wrote: Thu Apr 29, 2021 2:05 pm TVS is a Dutch company renowned for solving all kind of DSG issues.

Yeah so the £900 includes dyno time, not sure how much that costs, the remap is £399 and the dsg remap is £349 so dyno is about £150 extra?Stuart_Rendall wrote: Fri Apr 30, 2021 7:40 amDoes seem quite expensive.

Those performance numbers do look healthy though.
