Title: GIAC Remap & REVO DSG Remap????
Post by: chris s on May 17, 2011, 10:27:56 pm

Is it possible to have my DSG remapped by REVO when my ECU has been mapped by GIAC???  I went to Star Performance for my GIAC map, but that's 120m away, and just found a REVO dealer 6m away.... typical!!!

Yes, not a problem at all. I'm Revo based with my ECU tuning and ran the GIAC DSG remap before the Revo Stage 2 map became availble, when I changed. No problems at all. With this considered the feel of Revo on Revo is better as the shift points on the DSG map are optimised for Revo tuning, am guessing that this is also case with GIAC. Products are not mutually exclusive though.

If you have a normal GTi i.e. not an ED30  you will want just the stage 1 map.

Agreed, even with an ED30 Stage2 is only aimed at cars with more significant hardware modifications; exhausts and  big turbos. There is a choice of  3200, 4000 or 4500rpm launch control and enhanced shift maps to suit vehicle set ups. Most people will be more than happy with Stage 1  :happy2:

I've just got the Stage 1 GIAC map on my Ed 30, but the DSG feels like it can't cope... so was considering having it mapped... but did not want to waste my cash on a REVO map for my DSG with the GIAC map on the ECU if they didn't work well together

What makes you feel that the DSG cant cope? Stage one shouldnt be an issue at all on the DSG box

It may just be my getting used to DSG and the car in general [as i only had it 2 weeks before the remap], but I feel it's too willing to change if left in D or S, and the only time I feel it's coming close to it's potential is when I use the paddles to change....

I've come from a 350Z, so it's totally different experience and may well be me and not the DSG.

DSG does take a while to get used to. The willing to change is mainly controlled by the pressure on the accelerator pedal. Light pressure itll change quickly up the gears at lower revs, higher pressure itll change slower with higher RPM

I know that may sound obvious, but try varying your throttle pedal pressure  :signLOL:

Take it out for a b road blast in m using paddles and put a few miles on it.

Couldnt agree more Dom. Nothing like M on a DSG  :grin:
