VW Edition 30 DSG - Tuning

<< < (2/3) > >>

Just a side query, i phoned VW last month to ask for my Edition 30 model number and plaque.  From reading a few posts is the turnaround time of this info quite long?

I thought as things have quietened down regarding the edition 30 that VW would be able to respond within a week or so but nothing so far.   :confused:

Hi and Welcome along... :driver:

The Plaques issue has been quite a saga for some owners having to wait ages yet others have got them quite quickly. :pomppomp:

Hi,

Came across these figures from JKM:

http://www.jkm.org.uk/performance/Misc/Gallery/rollingroaddays/Golf%20GTi%20RR%20Day%20March%2009/Dyno%20Charts/DSG.gif

The BHP and torque figures are naturally lower than the figures quoted by SUperchips.  I do appreciate however that all cars will vary slightly but these are quite varied.  Does anyone know if this map may have been customised to be lower by the owner or is this simply a variation you can see from car to car?

The reason i ask is that i would like to keep the torque below 258ft lb, i.e. 350NM, for piece of mind.  This map meets that requirement.

I think i have read on the forum that Superchips offer the same map now for DSG and manual cars.   Can someone confirm this?

Greeners:
Your probably better off talking to SC direct. Friendly bunch with top notch customer service!  :happy2:

JKM's rollers are renowed to be accurate on the lean side.   :popcornsoda:

Yes....good feedback. 

I have now contacted both JKM and Superchips.  Really helpful guys; Keith at JKM and Joe at Superchips.  I was pestering Keith with emails and he was kind enough to answer all my queries in detail.  I phoned Superchips today and Joe was very helpful.

Seems like you can limit torque if you wish but i think general consensus is the DSG box is quite a lot stronger than orginally perceived.  I'm sure you guys all know this anyhow.  Stupid newby's like me asking the same old questions.  :ashamed:

From looking at the torque figures again they are only marginally above the 258 ft lb or 350NM levels anyhow.  And given that REVO and other tuners exceed the Superchips figures would indicate that all the tuners are confident the DSG box can take the extra torque.

I think i will be putting in an order with JKM soon.  :driver:
