Oettinger mods for Ed30

[Hurdy]

Manual.

If the mods are TUV approved then they will not let the torque limit go past the recommended maximum from the maker on a DSG. The max torque on the DSG set up in the ED30 is under 300lb/ft.

APR have been in the same boat with the DSG as have Superchips. All do a slightly less torquey remap for the DSG version.

Yaaaa, I am thinking this is so!!

I don't think thats too bad as too much torque in fwd = lots of wheel spin.

From a standing start maybe, but in gear times should be even better with a manual if it has more torque.

Ve hav vayz of making you torque



Manual is best

Damn... is this limit insurmountable?  Because I'm seriously thinking of forgetting revo and going to Oettinger to Stage 2...

330hp

http://www.hgp-turbo.de/ - they do an upgrade for the dsg that raises the torque limit to 600nm 

One for post warranty mods methinks

The limit isn't insurmountable, however what you have to do to the DSG is a bit more drastic. As per the engine ECU, you can "remap" the DSG to work the plates with a higher pressure. The DSG clutches are designed as standard to last the lifetime of the car, but increasing the pressure will directly affect the lifetime of the clutches. A higher pressure = a stronger, faster gearchange. I've heard that there are only one or two companies in Europe who even have the bottle to start messing with the DSG programming and so getting someone in the good old UK may be a lost cause

Maybe I should stick with Revo for now...

I am right in thinking that if the torque is the same, the extra 30hp won't make that much difference as its not being translated to force at the wheel?

The extra bhp will translate more to top speed increase rather than in gear times if the torque doesn't increase much between the 300bhp and the 330bhp mods.
