1. How is it different?
Well without knowing the specifics of every other DSG tune out there it is hard to say how we are different so I will just note some of our features:
Our drive and sport maps are based on sportier factory versions. Most people don't know this but an 06 jetta and can have a different file from an 06GTI and an 06 GTI can have a different shift map in its file from an 07 or an 08. So we we did was find and test many of the shift profiles from some of the sportier versions found around the world like the Edition 30 for example. Starting from these maps we were able to maintain smooth factory like shifting by modifying the files as little as possible to attain the required results.
Our shift points are staggered in Sport mode similar to stock. In first and second gear in sport mode you don't need to rev the motor out since there is not enough load which means less boost and less power, so the shift points at WOT in sport vary depending on 1-2, 2-3, etc etc. We took what was present in those sportier factory tunes and made them more closely paired with that of modified vehicles needs.
For those without the gear indicator present we have activated that.
For those without factory launch control we have activated it.
Stage I files the launch control RPM is set to 3200rpm, stage II files a choice of 3200, 4000 and 4500 rpm. (all current built stage II files are 4K rpm and really even 3200 is useless on the street)
Stage II files are for cars with upgraded turbos, they are essentially the same as stage I files however in sport mode rev out slightly higher to better match the power band of a big turbo application. Stage II could be run on highly modified stock turbo car but most people will only need stage I.
Manual mode is manual. It will not upshift for you at redline it will not downshift for you if you hit the kickdown. It will go back to first gear if you come to a complete stop.
Torque limit increased to 500nm on stage I and stage II files
Flash counters are properly reset to what they were before the software was installed.
2 Is there a special?
For the launch of our DSG software from now until December 31st 2009 all existing Revo customers (must show proof of purchase) receive 50% off our DSG software. Stage I DSG software is regular price $499 is now $249 and stage II DSG software is regular price $599 is now $299.
For those that purchase Revo engine software and DSG software at the same time our permanent price is $100 off on the package. Since we may be missing a few files if your software is not available that day we will extend this $100 off a few days while you wait for the file. You must request the file to be built the day of engine software purchase in order to receive this discount. We do not however require you to prepay and it is up to our discretion to determine same day. You have work and you can't make it for 3 days after we notify you the file is completed sure, you are on vacation for 6 weeks.. not ok :biggrin:
Upgrading from stage I to stage II software is like our engine software you simply pay the difference. So if you installed a KO4 and now wanted stage II you would simply pay the difference of $100 between stage I and stage II DSG software.
3 Launch control activated?
As stated above yes we activate launch control on all applications not so from the factory and also adjust the max rpm depending on application.
We will have more information for you shortly. We notified dealers a few days ago and wanted to give them a chance to familiarize with the product before official forum announcements as well as some of our sales and marketing department were out of the office for a few days so the press releases were not done up. Keep your eyes open for our official posts early next week.
