What you may experience with your stock DSG software

As with previous generations and other variants 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 limitations, 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 calibration 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-mode 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 your DSG

Utilizing its extensive knowledge of the TCU from its offerings for previous generations and other variants of the direct-shift gearbox, that developed a strong reputation in the market, Unitronic’s Performance Software for the DL501 DSG will deliver a complete night and day driving experience. With two Stages, Stage 1 & 2, Unitronic’s Performance Software for the DL501 DSG is precisely re-calibrated to ensure shift points in Drive-mode 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 DL501 DSG will allow drivers to feel more connected to the vehicle and will experience a total transformation in the driving experience.

With over 10 years of experience with Bosch and Siemens engine management systems and calibrations, Unitronic is able to utilize its expertise, industry leading tools, and equipment to ensure an optimal calibration; delivering maximum performance, while maintaining complete OEM-like reliability and drivability.

Extensively Tested Under Various Driving Conditions

Development begins using its in-house engine dyno housed in an environmentally controlled cell; closely monitoring a plethora of operational data, utilizing industry leading calibration tools and resources. Additional validation and results comparison are completed using its in-house Maha Chassis dyno as a second step of product development. Beta calibrations are then tested in race and street scenarios, using multiple cars throughout the world under various driving conditions. This engine calibration strategy ensures Unitronic Performance Software delivers maximum performance, OEM-like drivability and reliability anywhere in the world. Unitronic Performance Software is only released to its Clients once development is thoroughly completed in accordance to Unitronic’s strict standards.

Optimized Responsiveness and Drivability

Cruising upshifts set point are improved for maximum responsiveness when you require power quickly.

Optimized “D” Mode for a Comfortable Driving Experience

Smoother and predictable shifting to ensure a pleasant ride for your daily commute.

Optimized “S” Mode for Maximum Acceleration

Sport mode features lightning quick gear changing and precisely calibrated shifting points to achieve the fastest acceleration possible when combined with your Unitronic ECU Performance Software.

Optimized “M” Mode for Maximum Acceleration and Kickdowns Removed

Fastest shift possible; up to 3 times faster compared to OEM calibration.

Optimized TCU Performance Software Stages

Unitronic’s Stage 1 TCU Performance Software shift points are optimized to give you the best performance possible out of your OEM software or your Unitronic Stage 1 ECU Performance Software.

Unitronic’s Stage 2 TCU Performance Software shifts points are optimized for your Unitronic Stage 1+ and up ECU Performance Software.

Gear Display Enabled in D and S Mode

Improved Launch Control

Optimized set points to maximize accelerations and improve 60ft time. Launch control set to 4000 RPM in the B8/B8.5 S4 & S5.

Increase Clutch Pressure for Higher Torque Output

Increased clutch pressure to maximized friction force. This results in higher torque capacity without clutch slipping.

Increased Torque Limiter

Ensure TCU does not intervene during acceleration thus reducing engine power output.

Rev Limiter Increased

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

Watch: The Zerouno Cruis’n USA

ItalDesign is drumming up excitement for its new supercar based around the same 5.2-liter Audi V10 that powers the R8. Naturally, it hit the road for a cruise around California last week to celebrate Monterey Car Week. There isn’t much in the way of V10 noise—which is a real shame given the sound it makes—but you do at least get a good look at the car inside and out in this video. With a body made entirely of carbon fiber and designed to be as aerodynamic and light as possible, ItalDesign figures that it will be good for a 0-60 time of just 3.2 seconds. “We put it our best skills into the production of the first car,” said Massimo Bovi, head of pre-series production, when the Zerouno was first unveiled in Geneva earlier this year. “Using some of the finest productions methods and engaging our high-skilled workers.” The car features clever aero tricks gleaned from single-seat racing, like a y-duct up front to improve downforce and turn-in. Available in a number of trim levels, the...
