Gearbox Tuning

We offer tuning for VAG DSG Gearboxes and BMW ZF8 Gearboxes. Like with all OEM systems, these can be restrictive. Our custom Gearbox tuning is designed to remove these restrictions and adjust the settings to complement the more performance minded driver.

Modifying your transmission involves more than just achieving speed or enhancing power output. Many individuals underestimate the profound impact an automatic transmission has on the overall driving encounter. Whether you're navigating through congested traffic, cruising, or pushing your vehicle to its limits on the drag strip or race track, the Transmission Control Unit (TCU) plays a pivotal role in shaping your car's performance. Just as every driver has a unique approach with a manual transmission, the TCU's internal settings hold the key to optimising your automatic transmission.

Increased Torque Limiter

When tuning the engine management system, torque limiters are increased. However, if the vehicle is equipped with a DSG/ZF8 gearbox the engine output will be limited by the torque limiter set in the DSG/ZF8 module. We raise the torque limiter to match the engine torque output.

Quicker Shift Speeds

Shift speeds can be increased by up to 20%, this reduces lag and improves acceleration. The quicker shift speeds will also give a smoother transition between gear changes and improve paddle shift response time.

RPM Limits & Shift Set Points

RPM limits and shift set points can be adjusted in drive and sports mode. Adjusting the rpm limiter as part of the engine ECU remap is not enough on a DSG/ZF8 equipped vehicle. The DSG/ZF8 ECU will determine at what rpm the gear shift takes place.

Launch Control

Launch control can be activated (model specific). Launch control will allow your car to make the perfect launch every time, reducing your 0 – 60 time and increasing the fun factor.

Full Manual Mode

Even when in manual mode, stock DSG/ZF8 software will force the gearbox to change up or kick down etc. With our custom DSG/ZF8 Remap we are able to give the driver full control by preventing auto changing when in manual mode (model specific).
