Yes, did this last year, motor and DSG both tuned. DSG does have much better up & down shift moments now. Motor (original CFCA180) got 40 extra horses and 100 Nm torque. Fuelconsumption still the same, no effect on oilconsumption. But driving is far more relaxed and smooth now. I'm an easy driver, but the car is surprisingly fast when needed.
Superchips only do engine remaps. Will not touch gearbox as it has to come out to get to electronics. At least that is what they told me when unlocking my ecu.Give
Superchips in Buckingham a call
HI, can I ask what was the cost and did you have to have the gearbox out to effect the re-map?Yes, did this last year, motor and DSG both tuned. DSG does have much better up & down shift moments now.

OK, sorry missed the earlier item including costs. I ask about gearbox removal to change the software because of post from other member saying "DSG remap I was quoted around £400. Gearbox has to come out to get to electrics." It was from Andys post on this thread hence my question.As mentioned above, 999 euro's motor + DSG. Don' t understand exactly your question but the gearbox is not build out, only adapting software (shiftmoments). The behaviour of the D and S postion are almost the same now.
