It is programmed through the OBD port like the ECU tuning. Mine took a while to do as they didn't have my code for the box and so had to refer it to the USA which took a couple of days (USA west coast time differential doesn't help!). Once they had the code it literally took ten minutes to hook up and download the map into the mechatronics control unit. It doesn't affect your ECU map at all (you can have any engine map on the car...REVO, CC, GIAC, APR etc) and as long as your engine map has a higher rev limiter than the GIAC DSG map then it is fine. If you have a lower engine rev limiter (ie stock) you can still have the DSG remap modified to allow you to use it. :smiley:

Your on the stock clutch still then - no new clutch packs or anything yet?  Sorry cant remember how far you got with it

Yes, I'm still on the stock clutch. The GIAC site quote that the clutches are uprated to handle 500nm safely by the remap (don't ask me quite how, but I understand it is something to do with the oil pressure giving a higher clamping pressure on the clutch plates to reduce slip and give a more positive engagement).

All I know is that the car is more responsive and definitely more sprightly than before :evilgrin:
