i'm new to dsg golf mk5 gti and heard that u can map the gearbox when you mapping the ecu. what does the dsg map do etc? will the box BOOm :fighting: faster?
reviews?
-
Dsg map does a lot of little things mainly -
Raises gear change rev limit slightly
Raises launch revs from 2.5k to 4k
Raises the rev limiter to 7k I think
Speeds up gear changes
Increases clamping forces
I'm looking to get mine done soon so will post up a review if nobody else has by then :happy2:

I'm tempted by this (though I've done nothing about it yet).
The key feature for me is disabling the automatic upshift when it hits the limiter in manual mode. If that was removed then it wouldn't upshift at the same time that I do. Then I'd get the one shift instead of two.
I'd pay £100-150 for that, but I think it's more.

May not be more than that with another tuner :innocent:

According to this thread: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=49310.0
A basic DSG map @ R-Tech is £100, although that was 2 years ago so it may be more now. A custom DSG remap is £200
You will probably be tempted to get your ECU remapped too though :signLOL:
-
is the dsg worth if maping with revo stage 1?
-
Had this done on my R32 and can highly recommend it made the car far more driveable, difference was night and day. Quicker changes in all modes and revy.
-
Am contemplating on dsg map since there is a sale.
After getting my revo map in 2012, there are a few things that are bugging me
- the shift point is way too early unless my throttle input is more than 50%
- jerky shifts at mid throttle/mid rpm occasionally
Will the dsg map fix the above? I dont need higher rpm limit as my k03 is rather flat at the range.
Also, is it possible to change back to stock dsg map?
And what happens if i reflash back to stock ecu map but my dsg map is still there?
-
In sport mine is jerky in the lower gears,I have a K04 so a bit more power.
The DSG map is good but now I'm at stage 2+ I see a stage two DSG map is available,I have more than enough power so I will stick to the one I have

Does anyone know if it's still possible to cruise around town or on the motorway without revving the tits off your car with a DSG remap?

Yes you can..... If you couldn't it would be a bit sh*t.

I presume he means in S mode, if so no you cant.
P.s anyone with cruise control,make sure you have the revised file,if it is the same as mk6 then cruise is not working properly.
pps DSG map is not 100% satisfactory if you specify linear throttle,according to tech at revo, I tried it first and it was terrible for general driving.

Thanks for clearing that up Rich

Why would you drive around town or down a motorway in S mode?

Only reason I could think of referring to revving its tits off, cruising too long in S mode. shrugs shoulders :smiley:
Apart from track/strip use, what exactly is the point of S, personally I cant see an advantage,given the lack of fixed position paddles, its just doesn't seem flexible enough,Sports mode in M would be better imo, given the limitations of the paddle position with the almost boat like steering rack ratio of our cars.
Switchable custom dsg maps anyone...nudge,nudge, come on revo,hurry up, oh the dream of an adjustable touque limit based on the amount of traction one has available.
-
Absolutely no idea... I never use S mode, pretty pointless, especially when your car is mapped, you need more control... and S can be a bit unpredictable.
