![]() As you guys get into more open road KMs I'm sure you won't be disappointed with the gearbox matching etc. Around town the size of it isn't really going to give you Golf R feelings but on long trips this is a very good GT type car and the DCC makes it even more adaptable. The real beauty of this motor is the torque everywhere though and how it revs out too. Still overall while it feels like it takes a while to get going, sub 6 sec to 100kph is still not slow for a large wagon that is under half the cost of an RS4 and has more toys inside. More than half pedal pressure it drops gears and holds it until redline then changes. Under slight pressure, it won't even change gears it just uses torque to speed up, a 3rd of the travel, it drops a gear and speeds up it that way quickly while changing up gears. ![]() It is very sensitive to how far its pushed down to when it holds gears in drive. ![]() Selecting sport mode does up the revs at idle about 200rpm probably giving the extra boost mentioned above but not sure if makes any difference really as the gears not changing so early have more impact than the extra 200 rpm does overall.īut I find sport mode gear box wise a PIA and now have learned how far pushing the accelerator makes the car behave instead in drive. The AWD just helps once it starts slipping and you keep your foot down and then you don't see the flickering orange light in the two AWD carsīut in saying that mine definitely has less than a second's hesitation from a standing start and I use the auto hold everywhere although if you don't completely hold the brake down it will just sit there on the foot brake without auto hold engaging too i.e no green brake light on the dash. I don't think a GTI or Golf R feel any different to the Passat in respect of the DSG response being common in all of them. The AWD system isn't instantaneous and you can feel it working it out. I have just purchased the forge wastegate and went for the 20psi spring also bought the go fast bits diverter valve+ to hold boost better. Sent from my SM-G930F using TapatalkThat is sort of right though, but my understanding is that it doesn't power all 4 wheels unless it needs to so is really just pushing the front wheels most of the time.? In mine, if the front wheels are on loose metal or wet road markings it slips until it grips. It's a heavier car and all that inertia would be quite taxing on the gearbox if it were to have to transfer all that power instantaneously to all 4 wheels. I don't think I've ever seen T recommend map 5 for non-ethanol running setups.I think you're spot in with the DSG limiting itself. Map 5 is recommended mostly for stock turbo guys running ethanol combinations. Map 6 is also a map that supports tapering however you want it to which is huge for the stg1 and stg2 guys that have turbos that hold more boost and for longer. Hello all, I have a B13 front mount Bluebird stock, manuel boost controller set at 12PSI, but when full throtle boost goes at 12 PSI for a 1 or 2 seconds the drops back to 8 PSI and holds till next shift up at 12 then back down again to 8 + don't here blow-off beetween shift. I can run whatever I want in map 6 and I like that flexibility versus algorithms that set that for me. ![]() My map 6 is dialed in so I just switched right over to it. I did 4 second through fourth pulls and it still felt bad after switching to it. The auto-learn runs you did were from 2000-7000rpm in 3rd gear? After doing a few solid pulls from 1500-7000 rpm in 3rd gear my car pulls like a maniac!Īfter proper dial in, I can't argue it isn't faster as it will allow a higher boost setting. I have almost always heard Terry recommend map 5. I have logged it and Map 5 is making nearly 18 psi consistently, whereas map 2 was 14 psi or whatever it is. I just have a downpipe and 94 octane and map 5 is noticeably faster than map 2. ![]()
