Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Dsg tune
    Hey Guys,

    I was thinking of getting a DSG tune on my rocco but dont know anything about it and what it does. Is there a major difference and does it warrant the $1150 cost. Currently running a stage 1 APR tune.

    Also, is it ok to install a downpipe on a stage 1 without getting the stage 2 tune

    Cheers,

    The main aim of the DSG tune is to change the characteristics of D and S gears - making D more efficient and S more usable. There are many other goodies like launch control RPMS (that I don't and won't use), no automatic kickdown etc.

    Lots of info here - http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...ews-91608.html

    I think depending on which DP, it may throw a CEL without a Stage 2 tune.

          I would also recommend Underground performance. They did a DSG tune on my son's APR tuned and my Underground performance tuned Golf R's and I'm pretty sure they charge around $750.00, maybe less for the DSG tune. We got a bulk deal so I don't know for sure. It makes the 2 modes closer together. It makes Drive in my car very similar to what I would be doing in gear changes if it was a manual. I believe Alex is based in Melbourne too.

            Thanks for the info. I think i will go APR as the stage 1 tune is APR. I think they might couple up well.

              Makes no difference where you go for the DSG tune. Don't go APR "just" because you have their engine tune.

                Up until recent times, the DSG tunes that APR dealers were supplying weren't an APR product. These were something that Harding Performance (the APR Australian distributor at the time) was sourcing from Europe and supplying to the APR dealers.

                I'm not sure how many people actually have an APR DSG tunes. Not that I think it matters because I suspect they are all similar in what they do (adjust shift points, faster shifts, re-engage 1st gear, increase launch RPM, etc).

                  I have the dog tune in my polo and think its worth it. I would recommend the OEM plus tune or any of the harding performance products.

                        My son's Golf R has a stage 2+ APR tune (on it when he bought it) and he has the Underground Performance DSG tune.

                            The HP tunes were supplied by TSV in holland and having looked at their files I rate them highly, they are superior to the APR offering in quite a few ways and indeed our own are very similar. The 10 second car (Jarod's one) in Melbourne for example ran the TSV file because the APR one was not up to the task (line pressure) - a good move by HP at the time.
                            Good luck with the rest
