Overview
One of the most popular upgrades to do to the Audi S-Tronic transmissions is a tune. Also known as a DSG (Direct-Shift-Gearbox) flash, the Volkswagen Audi Group utilizes the DL501 dual clutch 7speed transmission in all of it’s vehicles using a variant of Audi’s longitudinal engine. The DL501 transmission is like the original 6speed DSG with a concentric dual wet multi-plate clutch. This particular variant uses more plates and a major change to the DSG’s lubricating system was done. The DL501 was designed to increase reliability, and has a torque handling limit of up to 440ft/lbs of torque. So why is this such a popular upgrade? Well, tuning the DSG can greatly improve the way your vehicle drives. If you are looking for faster gear changes, change that kickdown effect, and raise the rpm to which the gear shift happens, then the VR Tuned DSG S-Tronic Transmission Flash is for you!
VR Tuned uses different OBDII tools that work with all 2006 and up DSG control modules via the OBDII port. With our OBDII device, you can easily pull the OEM software data out. Once you have provided us the original software info, we can then begin to make your custom transmission tune. To do the transmission tune, you need our OBDII tool and a Windows PC to do the job!
The DSG tune can incorporate features that you would find on the highest RS models to give you blistering fast shifts and performance. Much like an ECU tune, when you are driving normal, the vehicle will behave normal. This is the same for the transmission as it will perform and function normal unless you are getting after it with increased throttle. The driver will feel more involved with the car similar to a true sequential gearbox or manual transmission. Holding the throttle at a certain throttle percentage will keep the transmission from jumping to too high of a gear. This can be very annoying for certain situation where you want to keep the revs higher. Each mode of the vehicles transmission is dialed to deliver results for your input to the accelerator.
The DSG Tune does not affect your vehicles ECU. We are directly programming your DSG module only. The DSG flash cannot change your top speed limiter or get rid of a check engine light. If you are trying to raise your rev limiter and your vehicle is already flashed by someone else, they will need alter their code to match the RPM limit we set. We do offer ECU programming for these vehicles. We can also do a ECU flash as well to provide you with the ultimate performance combo.

- Improved Daily Driving Characteristics
- Enable/Alter Launch Control
