Viezu Tuning on Golf R....WOW!

[ViezuAustralia]

Bloody good review mate , very well written!
For anyone who's thinking about adding a tune to their car, this review sums it up perfectly.

Absolutely ! Thanks for the reviews guys - Keep them coming !


Also on a slightly different note...

Quick Base maps 101.

Why do our tunes take time to bed in ? Ignition timing can self adjust from the new base mapping level for one, amongst other things. So your ECU has a base tune on it (which is why you should actually reset your ECU to do stock compared to tuned runs - but anyway) the ECU can essentially self tune to a degree, and that's one cause of it. A series of WOT runs will get it pointing in the right direction straight away - I'm talking 3 and 4th gear, not thrashing the nuts off it in first and second. But watch your speed (!)

However because, in its infinite uniqueness, Viezu tunes carry much more than just your typical 'crank up the boost and make it work' type approach, the methods of getting around torque load limiters on modern day engines and gearboxes is a different kettle of fish altogether. Not all tuners are created equal and all that.

It's why we developed our free-light-dsg tune as part of the new Golf 'R' mapping. It's the much more advanced skilled side of modern day tuning that takes all the awards - just what you should expect from a International Tuning brand such as Viezu. The Golf R light-DSG-tune, for example, is an indirect tune developed from Viezu's detailed expert knowledge of direct DSG tuning. It's why other tuners tell us it's not even possible to do what we do. It is, and we can, and we do. However it gives rise to the process that is the adaptive process, the gearbox having to adapt to the new coding and alter a variety of values for it to realise its new potential.

Incidentally DSG mapping is actually more complex than engine tuning. Now try to combine the two and tune the DSG through the backdoor and you see why Viezu are such geniuses

...if all that makes sense.

It's why a manual Golf 'R' will have a much faster bedding in process than a DSG one. The DSG needs more time to adjust. And that's on top of the new base map adjusting in the more traditional sense.


Class dismissed

That file didn't work on my R mate : D

Look forward to Sydney dealers.

Candyman ! legend.... How are you mate

Your DSG's playing ball isn't it ?! Or did you mean the 80hp one... (latter of which was redeveloped for anyone interested as it wasn't playing ball when we first tried them here... which promoted the new R&D program in the first place! They got way over 80hp on the dyno on the R&D is what I meant... but not where you want it!)

LOL

The GTI email tonight mate, the errant one

All good here. As soon as a local source is established I'm there

Love your work

I should have hit Greg up for a tune when we were in the a Sunshine Coast a few weeks back. Would have been a fun drive back.

OOOh ! haha (!) yes.... my bad We can get a V-Switch out to you if you can't wait any longer ! But NSW dealer are not far off at all

No, happy to wait Simon.

Thanks as always.

15k service isn't far away so may do it after that as Service Manager says they have another DSG update to try

Mine is getting nicely bedded in.

Easier to drive in heavy traffic. Serious speed especially in third and fourth. The difference is most noticeable uphill. Kariong hill and the climb up from Brooklyn on the old pac is epic.

Very happy. I went v switch and didn't break anything.

Mines a manual so can't comment on dsg element.

Get it on candyman.

I have recently had the Viezu Motorsport ecu upgrade for my 2010 R.

The dealer is Tigersoft, run by John. He is apleasure to deal with and very available to answer all questions.
The difference it has made to my car is immense
In D the power is much more linear with smoother DSG changes
In S it is ballisic but controlled.
Poers is uo 52kw and torque100nm

I can highly recommend this to any R drivers frustrated by too quick shifts in D and also cetting rid of any lag

Another happy customere here.

Don't have a DSG so can't comment on that aspect but the tune is overall very good. Happy man.

I dealt with Simon directly and also very happy with the service.

How much is a V-switch + tune? Is it possible for a few of us to share the same V-switch? (sorry if this has been answered already)
