When VW decided to improve their DSG with the new 7 speed DQ381 we decided to make it even better. The results? an improved driver experience and a perfect all around package that enhances drivability and increases enjoyment.
In manual mode, you have full control of your upshifts with the “auto up-shift” disabled. Clutch pressure is increased across all drive modes to handle the increased torque from our Stage 1 or 2 files, but still works with a factory tuned ECU for users who simply demand a more spirited transmission than what the factory supplied.
Race on Sunday. Commute on Monday.
We created our DQ500 tune with the Spirited Driver in mind. Whether you are a canyon carver, or a sunday racer, our recalibrated shift points and launch control adjustments will be sure to keep you grinning from ear to ear and light to light.
Dude. Just Drive. No matter which mode you prefer to drive in, our S-mode and D-mode adjustments make driver input more instant and shifts more intuitive.
