Hello, any help with this much appreciated, I'm looking to have my  car remapped,   has anybody had a remap done without having the dsg gearbox remapped? I'm worried that a remap may cause the gearbox to start shiffting funny as the power and torque would be spread different than a a standard map ! Any help much Appreciated thanks

I had an engine remap done on its own.

Did it effect the dsg box shift points at all? Thanks for the reply

It's a time ago since I had that car but any differences would have only been engine related.

Thanks for the replies, after speaking to a couple of tuners it sounds as if a stage one map won't need any gearbox tuneing, thanks again

The gearbox bases it's shifting decisions on power, torque, load, revs, throttle input etc etc that is largely reported by the ECU.

 

If the tuner know what they're doing they should be tuning it to report false power and torque information.

 

If they don't do this then the gearbox will get the real (much higher) info from the ECU and since this may very well go above the gearboxes official torque limit (although still safe) the gearbox will tell the ECU to reduce the torque.

 

Cheers Phil, spoke to darkside who said a similar thing about being tuned properly, speaking to a company called btg performance up newcastle were I live, the lad literally said straight off the bat I wouldn't need a gearbox map so fingers crossed, if not tuned properly would I feel this drop off in power and touque? So if it's not done right would I be to tell straight away or is the reduction minimal?

It wouldn't be a sudden drop off necessarily although under certain loads and revs etc depending how suddenly the torque increases it could be noticeable.

 

Just ask them about it.

 

I can't remember what it's called but the ECU basically has a torque table or graph or something programmed in. So it knows that at any given revs, load, air flow and injection quantity how much torque that equates to and calculates this on the fly.

 

So it's basically needs tweaking so that for instance if it's not producing 200nm at a given revs and before it would only be producing 180nm that it still calculates and reports 180 and not the higher 200.

Cheers Phil, spoke with company yesterday, it's going for revo map and was told again it would not need gearbox map, so yeah, hopefully they know what there doing 👍🏻 thanks for the info
