Looks like their powercontroller is a nice bit of kit too. I just wish they'd do one of those things for the diesels

- 170 dpf limitations tuning
Dutch tuner, who only does VW cars. Running a Mk5 Golf GTi DSG with a safe 400Bhp
JD does a lot of foeign cars like people form the UK or Norway etc etc.

400BHP, but surely a limited torque curve to protect the DSG?
I've decided my next car's an Audi A4 3.0 V6 TDI Quattro! Problem is finding one with a manual gearbox...
Eitherway, they make 230BHP & 360lb/ft as standard, and in standard A5 form hit 60mph in under 6 seconds. Let's be hoping they're not limited by the DPF as well...

The last time i saw JD he was planning to upgrade the Golf V GTI even more.
Something at 450-480bhp
I thing i have a good engine in my Leon FR TDI, because after 2000km i reach a topspeed of 225km/h on tacho and 218km/h on the GPS while its still standaard and factory topspeed should be 214km/h. The car is lowered by 25mm, has 18" RS4 alloys, aero sideskirts and running on Total Excillium diesel, so maybe thats the reason for the extra topspeed.
Next wednesday i will go for a custom re-map with JD and a dyno run, because the Milltek exhaust (without the DRF) will be ready within appr. 4-5 weeks. When the exhaust arrive i will go for another re-map incl. new dyno run
.., keep you informed of the bhp progress.

As i said before, run it in hard to get maximum power, with 220Bhp it should be asquick as your 20VT was
Reprogrammed DSG software to be able to cope with the torque
do they really do this? I thought the limitation with the dsg was mechanical,,,do you have a link about this? It would be very good news for all the dsg guys,,,
Carlo,
He wrote the program himself for the TFSi so i dout that be available from other Tuners
Have a look at the bottom of page 5 http://www.xs4all.nl/~jdengine/html/A-T-feb07-1.pdf

It was clear that it was just from JD
. I said "they" cos I referred to JD as a company, not an individual,,,I can't read dutch

Company is named after the person who started it JD stands for "Jeroen Dik"
Software normally limits the torque at 360NM, now with revised software 500NM should be possible
Will have to pop down to this JD next time I'm in holland,,,
So you really say that the only prob with the DSG is the software?

There are uprated discs available but they are very costly. You can be sure that there is a large tolerance on the gearbox otherwise everybody who tunes there car would have blown it apart.
JD is in the east of holland far away from amsterdam

I usually go to maastricht, been to amsterdam only once. but I see it's even further from there,,,
Sorry just to say what the power controller does roughly -
Unlike traction control which cuts engine power, the power controller restricts the amount of torque delivered to a certain limit per gear, and it has different settings for dry/wet/etc (5 I think but I read it a while back today).
So you get ability to drop your foot to the floor in every gear and get little to no wheelspin (max traction). Annoyingly I don't think one exists for dervs at this stage, which is a proper shame as that's the one thing that would seriously allow me to accelerate on the limit without having to turn off the ESP.
