DSG Tune - Custom Code - My Review

Well I got the Custom Code DSG flash from Gavin yesterday and after an extensive drive I’m very happy with the results. I’d just like to say that Gavin is a great guy, very friendly and helpful, always willing to crack a joke in typical pommie fashion.

Let me say that this is how the dsg should be from factory in the first place. I swear the car feels quicker now, more responsive and alert to input responses.

Take off: First thing you notice is the improved take off. Straight away the hesitation has been virtually eliminated. If this was possible why wasn’t it released like this in the first place?

Sport mode: Awesome. I hated sport mode b4, in fact hardly ever used it. It was so over the top. It’s somehow more intuitive now using more gears but with really sensitive kickdown. I particularly like how it changes down as you slow down ready for attack, much more intuitive.

New rev limit is 7000rpm.

M mode: Gear change is noticeably quicker now, so much so that the dsg fart is shorter. Funny tho the fart is more prominent in S and D mode now.

D mode: The change points remain the same but the actual change is quicker, quicker farts. Also kickdown is just a little more sensitive which is great cos I always thought it was a bit hard to get it to kickdown.

Overall drivability has improved greatly. I encourage anyone with a dsg to get this done, it’s a no-brainer. Oh and cheaper than the other ones too. Not that I’m bagging them, I’m sure they’re all good. I just couldn’t get any of them done here in Adelaide.
