Just had the GIAC DSG software fitted!!!!
« on: 15 May 2009, 17:51 »
What can I say....bloody great bit of software that makes the DSG what it should have been from the factory :cool:

7k+ shifting ftw.

Faster shifts up AND down the box

Smoother shifting up and down the box (didn't think this was possible)

Better "blipping" noise from the zorst

Manual mode is now a manual (but if you push it continuously it will push through the rev limite to the next gear if you want it to)

Faster set off from a standstill

Better torque handling capability

Torque limiter relaxed in 1st and second gears

60mph is now possible in second and 90+ in 3rd :evil:

It now releases the full rpm power potential of the K04, so no more RR days with the box killing the power just over 6200rpm

Option of launching with up to 3,700 revs with launch control (and 4,500 for the R32 boys, which must be handy :wink:)

There are other companies who are developing DSG remaps, HPA, Revo etc, but they will find it hard to better unless you are able to customise the settings yourself with a handheld programmer :laugh:

Even though it is damp out I can tell the difference. I reckon it is good for probably 0.3 to 0.4 off the standing quarter

Honestly, if you have a DSG and want to get the best from it, a DSG remap (whoever you choose to do it) is an absolute must have :drool:

Roll on my Quaife arriving now to knock a few more portions off the QTR mile. :evil: :evil:

That sounds fantastic!!

If this really does cure all the little niggles you have had previously then its defo worth it despite how much it costs! :cool: :cool:

Looking forward to some updated time on the 1/4 too.

I had it done at a company called Statller (Autorads) in Sheffield, but any GIAC dealer can do it for you.

I got a discount for asking, £399 is the price normally (although it says £450 in the listings), but if you ask I'm sure you'll sort a small discount for asking wherever you go. :cool:

Is the revised 7k rpm limit part of an engine ecu remap as well as the DSG box? If not, how do they get around the rev limited on the engine?

Will it work in conjuction with another tuners engine ecu remap?

I have a limit on my Custom-Code remap of 7,400 rpm. The DSG software on mine is set at 7,250 rpm.

As long as the DSG limit is lower than the engine ECU then the map will work fine with any map....OEM stock or otherwise.

If you have a lower engine limit, then GIAC can send a revised map to allow for the lower limit. You will still get all the other benefits though. :smiley:
