revo dsg map - what are the benefits?

Sounds good... Is it 'double bubble' to map both or like, still 500 quid or whatever?

The guys at R-Tech are great, they said they will offer a discount if I do both together. Will find out more tomorrow when I go down as I'm undecided as to whether to go for Revo ECU map or their own one... Will have a good chat to Nick and decide which would be best for me.

RagingKileak:
Would you mind letting me know? Via PM if need be!!

No worries mate.

Long story but as I've decided to look at cars with a bit more base spec than mime (and namely a DSG ED30) I ended up test driving what turned out to be a CAT D car with DSG the other day.

Long story short, the chap didn't know it was CAT D until I checked it and was distraught, so I walked away. But on the test drive, the car felt MILES more powerful than my standard manual GTI so I'm confident it was remapped.

Looking into more detail, I read that the DSG box isn't rated because it 'interferes' a lot... Changing up too early etc.

From the way the CAT D pulled well into the redline in S mode and actively worked the gears I can only surmise that it was both engine and gearbox mapped... Does that sound right?

If so, that's exactly what I want from mybED30 (albeit with been more K04 goodness) and I was wondering.... Do I need two separate maps?

Is there a company doing them 'all i'm etc?

Thanks and hope this is on topic enough not to be crashing the thread!!

Don't forget that the K04 based ED30 is more powerful as stock than a stock GTI anyway. It is very easy to tell if the DSG is remapped - stick it in to manual and take it to the limiter, if it bounces of the limiter without changing up then it has a DSG remap. If it has one I would say you can be 95% certain that it has an engine remap too. I disagree with your comment about the DSG not being 'rated' it is an excellent piece of engineering although searching on here will bring up mechatronics issues, which are known issues that are well documented. It is a bit like marmite and down to personal preference and what you want out of the drive too.


Currently there are only two DSG remaps available in the UK, which work independently of the engine ECU remap namely GIAC and of course, REVO. The DSG remap is a remap of the TCU - transmission control unit. I have had both on my car, currently running with the Revo Stage 2 map and IMHO prefer the Revo offering, especially as it is very well mated to go with their maps.

Any Revo dealer will be able to provide you with the DSG map as well, which of course is consider as a separate product, of which there is Stage 1 + Stage 2.
