Anyone know if there are any shops in the tri state area that do dsg tunes/ custom ecu tuning? Primarily looking for somewhere that can do a dsg tune since many companies dont really have support for the 2021 model mk7.5 at the moment. I believe Cobb doesnt even support 2021 dsg models, so I cant go through eqt the way i wanted to. (for now)

My car has mild modification, is20 setup. Intercooler, catback, small suspension stuff etc im simply waiting for a tune to install my downpipe. Not looking for anything crazy out of the tune.

Dont mind if the shop is expensive, ill pay any price as long as my car wont blow up once i go to do a pull.

Any help is appreciated, I dont want to put a new ecu tune on and leave my dsg on stock file.

I have Mk7.5 GTI with Cobb AP and EQT DSG tune file. EQT will support the DSG through the Cobb AP. That's how they do all their tunes.

The 2021 models have a different transmission code so theres no support for my model year.

Ive sent eqt a couple of emails asking on progress for a dsg tune, they didnt have any available last i checked. I really dont want to mess with cobb ots tunes.

Ill give it another shot. More on what im talking about here if youre interested.

? I'm lost. And don't know what your talking about there's only 2 model DSGs. All MK7.5 have the same DSG 7 speed.
The MK7 have a different DSG. But you said you contacted EQT and they said they have no Support for it. Interesting considering I'm also MK7.5 7 Speed DSG With EQT DSG tune.

So your plan right now is to find a local Tuner to tune the DSG they have no support for? So if you can't find it online, a local shop is sure to have it? 🤔👍

OP: Have you checked out APR, IE, or Unitronic? Their website says that your car is supported, but I'd call them to confirm.

Incorrect. The 2018 first-year Mk7.5 used the DQ250 6 speed DSG or 6MT.

Oh I see, and the OP 2021 model that has a different transmission code? Is his model different than every other model with DQ381 including my 2020?

I would recommend United Motorsports if you gonna travel to CT for tune. I've been wanting the Proflex tune they offer where you can run both E and pump and it will adjust automatically. That's pretty sick.
