does a dsg remap definitely increase torque?

(1/5) > >>

chris s:
I have been considering getting my dsg remapped as i hear good things on th whole. But can anyone tell me if there is definitely an increase in torque ? I believe there are no real power gains tho

Hurdy:
There will be no extra torque with a DSG map. What there will be is a firmer and full delivery of what torque you have. The torque limiter is raised in the DSG box and the map also increases the clamping pressure on the clutch packs giving a combined result of more AVAILABLE torque. The DSG map is well worth it. :happy2:

Tamiyoman:
Can recommend it for anyone running stage 1 or above with DSG, had my car mapped stage 2 and DSG box was limiting torque to 293lb/ft, after R-Tech DSG remap and back to Jabbasport for remap tweak was making 342lb/ft torque (power stayed the same).

Well worth having it done, as hurdy says clamping pressure is increased and also gear changes speed up by around 25-30%  :happy2:

RedRobin:
.
Even on the K03 DSG, Revo's DSG stage 1 delivers subtle but solid improvements. The whole gearbox and drive suddenly felt a lot smoother after the DSG was remapped.

Regular DSG oil servicing helps too.

VW say every 4 years for std oil change on DSG, altho being stage 2 I am probably going for DSG oil changes every 18-24 months (roughly 10-14k miles for me).

Forgot to add that as well as other changes I also had rpm limit increased from 6500rpm to 7000rpm, so now it revs cleanly through to 7krpm  :evilgrin:
