A couple of weeks ago when in civilization i got superchips out to carry out the stage 1 remap. Work was carried out very quickly, i cant say ive noticed the increased 34bhp but i have found the dsg gear changes to now be alot smoother and no jerks between gears. So far testing is over 1000 miles and a variety of roads and im happy with the work done

Nice to hear you are happy with the remap but it seems you find the performance increase rather underwhelming with the main benefit, for you, being improved dsg gear changes.

 

When you got the engine remap did you get a remap for the transmission?

If not then they may have just 'reset' the transmission module it to let it 'learn' the new engine characteristics and your driving style? It's possible that merely doing a transmission reset without the engine remap may have improved the gear changes anyway?

What driving mode do you use? Did you change your usual mode after the remap?

 

Most people when they get a diesel remap comment on the improved torque at low/mid revs as increased power (bhp) is usually less relevant because revving out diesels to max bhp is not really pleasant or necessary for a faster progress on public roads.

You would probably have to be in Sport mode to access max bhp or manually selecting gears.

 

I'd imagine more torque would mate nicely with 4x4
