Viezu Tuning on Golf R....WOW!

[Candyman]

No, happy to wait Simon.

Thanks as always.

15k service isn't far away so may do it after that as Service Manager says they have another DSG update to try

Mine is getting nicely bedded in.

Easier to drive in heavy traffic. Serious speed especially in third and fourth. The difference is most noticeable uphill. Kariong hill and the climb up from Brooklyn on the old pac is epic.

Very happy. I went v switch and didn't break anything.

Mines a manual so can't comment on dsg element.

Get it on candyman.

Viezu ECU Upgrade for Golf R

I have recently had the Viezu Motorsport ecu upgrade for my 2010 R.

The dealer is Tigersoft, run by John. He is apleasure to deal with and very available to answer all questions.
The difference it has made to my car is immense
In D the power is much more linear with smoother DSG changes
In S it is ballisic but controlled.
Poers is uo 52kw and torque100nm

I can highly recommend this to any R drivers frustrated by too quick shifts in D and also cetting rid of any lag

Another happy customere here.

Don't have a DSG so can't comment on that aspect but the tune is overall very good. Happy man.

I dealt with Simon directly and also very happy with the service.

OOOh ! haha (!) yes.... my bad We can get a V-Switch out to you if you can't wait any longer ! But NSW dealer are not far off at all

How much is a V-switch + tune? Is it possible for a few of us to share the same V-switch? (sorry if this has been answered already)

[Lucas_R]

Around $1,400 for the tune + V-Switch. Have been speaking to them re pricing.

[Candyman]

Was $990 ?

[Lucas_R]

Price went up apparently (a considerable amount).

[DreamensioN]

Was $990 - WTF

That was a special introductory price. Which was one of the reasons I got mine when I did.

Even at $1400 with the V-Switch, it's worth it.

Don't forget also - the V-Switch holds 3 tunes (including your original). And when you get a V-Switch, you get to pick 2 tunes (Greg/Simon correct me if I'm wrong). So for $1400, you get 2 x Viezu tunes + your stock tune all on the same unit. So you can swap between stock, and whatever other 2 tunes you picked (whether they be Economy, Performance, Motorsport etc).

Ohh, and plus, lets not forget - with Viezu, you get free lifetime upgrades to the tune. You don't have to pay again each time you modify your car. There is no "Stage 1", "Stage 2", "Stage 3" etc. Just tell them you've added an exhaust & fuel pump (or whatever), and they'll send you a new tune... no extra cost.

[Candyman]

That may all be true but a jump from $900 to $1400 is massive.

[SilvrFoxX]

So what are the Dyno figures..?

[Candyman]

So what are the Dyno figures..?

Are you after Viezus numbers or local owners numbers ?

The latter are apparently being done over the next few weeks for various owners

[Frazza]

Be really good to see some figures and how they drive once it's done

[swalee]

Be really good to see some figures and how they drive once it's done

Yeah it would be nice to see fiqures, 1400 bucks is alot of money for a few 'Wows' and that 'pulls harder' opinions.

[Greg Roles]

One R on the dyno 8am Monday morning-tomorrow. Others as owners can get there.

Viezu HQ charges a fortune for their V switches, and they have no interest in the handheld market, so they are indeed pricing themselves high. That helps cover the fact you get insurance, and like Noel points out, as many retweaks as you want. It's a premium service, now at a premium price on a handheld. A dealer flash for most cars is still around the grand, and this is Viezus preferred method of passing out tunes, straight from the top.

A V switch is now being marketed as an accessory over and above a tune, and for a bargain handheld there are a few companies that can help you out, bluefin, DNA etc etc.

I realize the price jump is massive, and I think the few switches I keep in stock will gather a bit of dust, but such is life.
