When you say 600nm ‘with a tune’, do you mean a tcu tune?

Yep a new tcu program Harding performance is just about to release its dq381 tune early next year tho they say that the new 7.5 r with the 7 speed vs the 6 speed dq250 they can tune it for a extra 20kw and 80 nm over the plain 7.0 version just because of the beefier gearbox

Also apparently the tune is optional on a stage 1 tune with 260kw and 520nm! so they think a stock no tune dq381 will handle that much grunt (i have been told by another vw tuner that the clutches in the dq381 are "massive")

I'm presuming tunes will void the warranty though?

I got a different response from them on this question. The increased power/torque was not them doing more aggressive with the tune, but rather something they couldn't explain other than VW coding changes (they confirmed engine/turbo were identical). Have a look at question/comments on youtube video.

Yup as always if something goes wrong and you have a tune that is picked up its your baby

I did my Tiguan with OBDeleven.

Got instructions on how to do sat nav nag screen off fix using OBDeleven?

Have seen some vcds instructions only (5F-> Byte 23 -> 00 (uncheck all) but wasn't obvious to me how to do the same in OBDeleven

Whilst on the subject, anyone tried swapping water temp with oil temp as default on AID?

Have seen the odd vcds/obdeleven instruction but unsure if this works on the 7.5.
