What you may experience with your stock DSG software
As with previous generations of the DSG, ECU Performance Software and engine hardware upgrades resulted in shortcomings in the stock control logic; gear change setpoints, gear shift speeds, limitations in allowed torque through the gearbox, engine rev limititations, and much more; all stemming from the increase in engine output. In Drive-mode, drivers often experience premature upshifts as a result of the stock DSG Software being aligned with the factory engine output. In Sport-mode, part throttle acceleration held the gears too long, causing an awkward driving experience. In Drive- and/or Sport-mode, shift points are often misaligned with peak engine output, costing drivers with imperfect acceleration. And Manual-mode is not a true “manual” mode, as gear changes still occur at redline and engagement of the kickdown button still result in unwanted downshifts.

Why Choosing Unitronic Performance Software for DSG
Utilizing its extensive knowledge of the TCU from its offerings for previous generations of the direct-shift gearbox, that developed a strong reputation in the market, Unitronic’s Performance Software for the MQB DSG will deliver a complete night and day driving experience. With two Stages (Stage 1 & 2), Unitronic’s Performance Software for the MQB DSG is precisely re-calibrated to ensure shift points in Drive- and Sport-mode are aligned with increased output and powerband of a Unitronic tuned engine to ensure maximum acceleration, deliver lightning fast gear changes to gain valuable time during acceleration, and raises TCU torque limitations to ensure the TCU does not intervene during acceleration. Unitronic’s Performance Software for the MQB DSG will allow drivers to feel more connected to the vehicle and will experience a total transformation in the driving experience.

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.

Macau Gets Messy with 16-Car Pileup

The Macau Grand Prix is always good for an accident or two or 16— you may remember Audi’s race ending crash last year —and this year’s event didn’t disappoint. It didn’t take long for things to get messy on the tight road circuit. On the opening lap of the qualifying race a 16-car pileup caused the race to be suspended. Things kicked off when Daniel Juncadella hit a wall on the exit of Police bend, one of the tightest parts of the already tight circuit. The following car of Raffaele Marciello was able to avoid the carnage, but Laurens Vanthoor, who was in the upside-down Audi that ended the race last year, could not avoid Juncadella and together they blocked up the road pretty much completely. “I couldn’t see him [Juncadella] at first. Then I saw the car standing still,” Vanthoor told Motorsport. “I tried to brake but it was just understeering and I couldn’t do anything. There’s room for one car there and you’re blind.” Fourteen more cars would eventually crash into the corner c

The First of its Kind: Integrated Engineering Releases Highly-Anticipated IE450T MK6 Golf R Turbo Kit

After two long years of development, the team at Integrated Engineering has finally announced the release of their IE450T kit for the MK6 Golf R. With their turbo kit bolted on right out of the box, the sport AWD hatch is transformed into a 450bhp monster, with hardly any noticeable increase in spool time. In fact, 435 ft-lbs of torque are achieved at all four wheels, at a mere 3300rpm! By now you are probably asking yourself how this is even possible on a 2.0L engine that made nearly half that power from the factory. By employing true twin-scroll technology into the cast turbo manifold and pairing it with a state-of-the-art BorgWarner EFR turbocharger, IE was able to keep spool time at a minimum and bring the fastest-spooling big turbo setup to the market. “We wanted to offer a kit that would dramatically increase the power output without making the car lose its amazing street-friendly drivability,” mentioned one of the IE engineers. We are told the IE450T leaves the car driving jus
