Driver Motorsport's Official Forum Introduction

We are now proud sponsors of Golfmkv!

As an introduction to this forum community, we're displaying our software offerings for the 2.0T FSI.

We have a full line of software for the MK5 GTI 2.0T FSI. Ranging from stock turbo software to the most extreme big turbo builds.

Stage 1,2,2+

Our Stage 1,2,2+ software is our most inquired about software option. Most customers who are planning on moving on to K04/K04+ or a Frankenturbo turbo upgrade will purchase our Stage 1,2,2+ software to take advantage of our 100% equity upgrade policy. This means if you purchase any of our software offerings, if you were to upgrade you retain 100% of your equity in your initial purchase. Meaning, if you want our Stage 2+ software @ $575 and you purchase a K04 turbo, it would be $125 to upgrade your software. Upgrading your software with Driver Motorsport is as simple as being sent a new file to be uploaded into your Programmer.

K04/K04+

We have sold more K04+ software than any of our other offerings. For both the K04 and K04+ software options, we offer an option for the customer to retain their stock injectors if they were to install an Audi RS4 PRV. Our K04+ software differs from the K04 software by the installation of a Golf R map sensor. This allows us to fine tune your set up past the previous limit of 2550 mbar. This is a new technique in this industry. Note - We recommend NGK PFR7B spark plugs gapped @ 0.026 to run any K04 calibration on a 2.0T FSI BPY engine.

Below is a comparison of our boost control for the K04 and K04+ Software -

Frankenturbo F23T

This software was recently completed and a forum member (brokenparts) documented it on this forum as well as vwvortex. Here is our official marketing material.

We're offering an industry first by providing a turn-key solution for the F23T Turbo. This means no worrying about whether or not you're getting the most out of your turbo and no concerns over drivability. Driver Motorsport has created a solution so that all you need to do is receive our programmer, send Driver Motorsport your stock file and then receive your tuned file. We have developed proprietary changes for this Frankenturbo calibration that cannot be duplicated without professional tuning and unlimited access to the ECU, this currently is not available elsewhere. These include boost control changes, fueling changes and changes to your MAF that cannot be duplicated without access to the entire 2,048 kb binary and every map in the ECU. Note - Frankenturbo's recommendation for spark plugs for the F23T is the NGK PFR7B gapped @ 0.021. Our test vehicle was equipped with these spark plugs.

Here is a shot of the raw dyno:



Big Turbo

We offer Big Turbo software for the MK5 GTI platform. We have made all of the necessary coding changes, the Boost Control PID calibration and fueling changes to allow an OEM quality Big Turbo calibration. We currently have a file created for the GTX3071R, using other turbos are possible but Driver Motorsport would have to be contacted prior to purchase if we're your planned software provider. These calibrations are done on a case-by-case basis and are based on time availability. Please contact Driver Motorsport prior to beginning a project if you're interested in our software offerings.

That's awesome news!!! Congratulations on your status! I'm really on the fence between the F23T and the KO4+, do you happen to have K04+ dynos so that I can compare the two?

Yes, but one was taken on a Dyno Dynamics, the other on a Dynojet. The numbers are vastly different and it would make the K04+ look weaker than it actually is.

Here is a link to a video of our K04+ Linear File:

On a dynojet, I see this file being ~10whp behind the F23T. The K04+ file has a cleaner/flat horsepower output to 7,000 RPM extending the powerband but it also loses in the midrange. It all depends on what you want out of your vehicle.

Excellent! Thanks for updating your website with the side by sides on that! Still a tough call on that one. I imagine you get asked this often, but do you support overwriting Tuned ECUs? (i.e. would I have to go to my APR dealer to get a flash back to stock before using your tune or do you have the available to overwrite the current?)

How does your tune get loaded if I were to only buy one? I wish I still lived in Florida so I could come to the shop personally.

I'm one of the new DM K04 customers. I'm looking forward to installing my retune within the next week or so.

Bronson has been super attentive and helpful every step of the way.

other tunes are encrypted. youll have to have it flashed back to stock tune... not apr stock tune but taken to a dealership or apr dealer and have them flash the stock tune.

my vw dealer wanted $100 and the apr dealer wanted $50. they might be able to hook you up though
