Don't VW send them the usual ECU updates which they then load into their maps accordingly? I'd guess that'd it??

There is a new map for DSG Edition 30 owners ..... no problem with the old one, just a development ..... and a very good one ! 

I contacted them after SteveP's  post and installed the new map yesterday - it is brilliant  :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

Do it !!!

If you have a Milltek though, ring them, as I think there is an even slightly better 'new' map to be had that reflects the fact you have a sports exhaust.  That said, the new map will give you shed loads more torque making it much more aggressive (in a good way though - nothing neck breaking) when the boost first comes in.

You will not be disappointed  :happy2:

We are running this offer, but also including £30 of JKM vouchers - which is the best part towards a free flow panel filter.

http://www.jkm.org.uk/performance/bluefinxmas2008.htm

Act fast though, Superchips are out of stock now (as we just asked for more) and we have only a few VAG items left.

Have a happy Christmas Everyone

I just spoke to Superchips after my powerrun at JKM (car was producing 270bhp) and they are issuing me with a new map to download :)

It seems that SteveP was indeed a candidate for improving the map :)

Yep.

DSG has a torque limit to work to.
