Our DSG tune is a complete re-work of the factory DSG settings. We’ve worked with to bring you 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 the factory supplied.
Race on Sunday. Commute on Monday.
Because not every driver drives the same, we've designed two versions of our TCU tune for the DQ250 found in the 1.8T. While our competitors may only offer one style of DSG tune based on their own driving preferences, we see requests from customers that prefer a more "daily drivable" Sport mode and others that prefer to have their Sport mode be more aggressive and allow them to stay closer to peak torque in every gear (to reduce the need for a gear kick-down when accelerating hard).
Our solution is to provide our TCU tune in two versions.
Autobahn The Autobahn is a more compliant Sport mode for highway or city driving. When cruising at a constant speed and a medium-low RPM/Throttle position the Autobahn S-Mode will engage the next gear to bring RPM down and provide a more comfortable driving experience when highway or city driving.
Nur-Spec The Nur-Spec S-Mode has a more aggressive shift behaviour for spirited or track driving. In S-Mode, when driving at a constant and medium-low RPM/Throttle position, Nur-Spec will remain in gear until a higher RPM or throttle input is reached.
Autobahn | Nur-Spec |
|---|
Raised TQ Limiters / Max pressure +/- 14bar 2-Step Launch Control (3500RPM without kickdown / 4000RPM with kickdown) Reduced Upshift/Downshift delay Gear display enabled in both drive modes Quicker Steering wheel paddle response
| Raised TQ Limiters / Max pressure +/- 18bar 2-Step Launch Control (3500RPM without kickdown / 4000RPM with kickdown) Reduced Upshift/Downshift delay Gear display enabled in both drive modes Quicker steering wheel paddle response Raised Max RPM in every gear Auto-Kickdown disabled in M mode Auto-Upshift disabled in M mode

Dude. Just Drive. In both TCU versions, the D-mode remains the same. If you are using the TuneZilla Portal App to flash your tunes, you'll be able to download both versions to your Tune Library and flash either version when you want using your FlashZilla Lite or FlashZilla Pro dongle.
Requires
After flashing your TCU, you must Reset the following parameters in your TCU basic settings (using VCDS or similar)
- Reset Clutch Characteristic
- Reset Logging Data for Clutch 1
- Reset Logging Data for Clutch 2
These parameters must be reset otherwise clutch pressures will not increase
Notes
D-Mode parameters are the same between Autobahn and Nur-Spec. Only the S-Mode parameters are changed.
Nur-Spec is modelled after our European customers driving styles with higher speed limits.
Autobahn is generally more popular for North American (daily driving situations)
Both versions are included in the purchase price of the Stage 1/2 DSG tune.
It's like stock, but better.
Our Stage Plus TCU tune for DSG is a complimentary TCU tune required for use with our Stage 1 ECU tune. To ensure complete driving satisfaction, customers purchasing Stage 1 ECU tunes may download the Stage Plus TCU tune at no cost.
This Stage Plus TCU tune raises the factory torque limit to work in conjunction with the additional torque from our Stage 1 ECU tune and activates D mode and S mode gear display ONLY.
Stage Plus | Stage 1/2 |

Notes
The Stage Plus TCU tune is a complimentary tune that increases the torque limits of the TCU to work in conjunction with our Stage 1 ECU tune without having to use a low torque file. It does not change shift maps or launch control settings.
'Stage Plus' TCU tunes are only deliverable via FlashZilla Pro using the TuneZilla Portal App.
Certain box codes may not be available right away. If you don't see 'Stage Plus' TCU option for your vehicle in Instatune, simply request one through the TuneZilla Portal following the prompts in the app.
