Hi all

Sorry if this has been posted before.
I have an 06 gti dsg and am looking to get it remapped
But am worried that the extra bhp/torque
Might cause one or more things to fail I have read
Various articles about max torque allowed on dsg is 300 but
Have also seen 250. Any help would be appreciated as I done want
To blow anything up.

Thanks

i wouldnt worry about torque mate, the std GTI doesnt come close to maxing out the engine or gear box.  internals are good for 350Hp, the gearbox on hurdys and many others have been pushing in excess of 400ibft with no issues apart  from clutch wear.

stage 1 map should see youat 240hp/270Ibft.  maxed out on stad turbo, the GTI will hit 270-280Hp/300ibft.  add the ed30 turbo and >360hp/360ibft.  so your are well within the limits :happy2:

Sparky1:
Thanks for reply. Also does additional power have any effect on the clutch
And I've something a bout the diverted valve? ( I'm not mechanically minded

Cheers

It can shorten the life of the clutch yes, but unless your car has had a very hard life up to now I wouldnt worry.  Diverter valve or 'dump valve' can be replaced fot the Revision D (piston type), as the original one has a tendancy to puncture due to increased boost pressure.  Get one from a dealer for about 50 quid.

Janner_Sy:
the clutch is the only issue you here about tbh.  mine was fine after 32000 miles of being driven hard and being mapped.

orthers havent been so lucky, its all dependant how the gears have been used, for instance using high gears from low RPM can cause slip
