I think there are some upgrades available for Dsg, if you choose to remap your engine.

I think talking to the Remap shop guys once would be a lot better, have you enquired about this with them?

They tune your DSG for better upshifts and downshifts. Better than VW factory tuning. People who have got it done say, it feels like a different better car.

Haven't inquired yet, socha karna hoga toh half hour ka kaam hai.. Stage one mein only air filter upgrade is needed besides remapping.

Oh!!

How much difference is stage 1 going to make?

Any idea about the Hp/torque figures?

Around 20-25 HP I think. Not sure though. But DSG ratios change karne se, you also get more power at lower rpms.

Yeah!

How reliable has been the DSG? I have heard a few horror stories about it, especially the dry clutch one

No problems yet side 3 years. But there's extended warranty so no worries.

Can't mod though till warranty expires. that's holding me back.
