DSG woe update

[Hurdy]

I'm stuck with a car that should be getting over 340bhp and 13 second 1/4 miles that is now stuck at 300bhp and 300lbft (I suppose it could be worse!!)

....It could be a lot worse! What's the standard version of your car? 230 bhp? - You've done very well to take it this far to date. Patience and be grateful for what you've got rather than what you haven't. Upgraded clutches will become available in due course.

So, you reckon upgrading the suspension to coilovers may help a bit. What about the Quaife? - It definitely should help traction a wee bit.

I've had the Eibach's since March, but have had to wait for another part to come first.

A Quaife would undoubtably increase grip and improve handling, although I'd rather only have to crack open the DSG once.

Think Positive.

....Good point. If/when you seriously want the Quaife, PM me - Don't order one before first talking to me.

^^^^  I dread to think much.

I feel a little like Vtec.......don't really want much to do with the car at the moment and feel like it is slightly tarnished in some way. I even went out in it earlier to have a good blast, but even that left me a little hollow inside.

Buy a 1.3 Skoda Felicia for a couple of hundred quid, drive around in that for a bit and then go back to your Golf. I'm going to love mine when it's back on the road, even though it won't be to the spec i want it by any means!

In a conversation I had while discussing turbo options for mine, it was mentioned (although i didn't take much notice since mine is manual) that the dsg can be 'remapped' to apply more pressure and reduce the 'micro-slippage' to let you throw more torque into the 'box.

I think its the waiting for one to be made and put into production.
I had a Mk2 Leon FR Tdi and was deperate to get it mapped as the stan 170 was not enough i went round every tuning Co going to see if they could do one but because of the DPF nobody was doing them as they weren't sure if the car could handle it, it drove me mad as i new there was more potential inside it, it took a while but now most tuners do them but i didn;t wait i jumped ship and bought an ED30.
So its all in the waiting, wait and finsih the car or sell and have to start again.
what the yanks they will be doing one or do they not get DSG's?

Yeah this is true, there are a couple of companies in Germany that remap the DSG oil pressure to induce a higher clamping pressure on the plates. I've been told that it would be okay to do, but would inevitably only be a short term fix for a longer term issue. This is because the slippage will eventually reappear and ultimately means you still need an upgrade clutchpack. VW racing use standard clutchpacks with upgraded software, but the software isn't generally available

The Yanks are waiting on the HGP/HPA clutchpack upgrade, but have been waiting quite a long time so far
