034 Motorsport – Volkswagen Golf MK8 GTI – Stage 2 DQ381 DSG Tune

034 Motorsport Australia – Volkswagen Golf MK8 GTI – Stage 2 DQ381 DSG Tune

034 Motorsport is proud to offer Stage 2 TCU Software for EA888 MQB EVO models equipped with the DQ381 G2 7-Speed DSG transmission!

This TCU tune fits lower output gen 4 models such as Volkswagen Golf MK8 GTI, Cupra Leon VZ, Cupra Formentor VZ, Skoda Kodiaq RS and other models which feature 180 kW / 380 Nm lower output engines. Common engine code is DNPA.

Flashed directly through your vehicle’s OBD2 port, 034Motorsport’s proprietary calibrations for the DQ381 G2 TCU safely and effectively optimize its operation for Stage 1 and Stage 2 Performance ECU Software. The result is a noticeable improvement in acceleration, without any sacrifice in comfort or reliability.

In addition, End User Flashing allows Dynamic+ Performance Software customers to receive and install software updates and revisions, flash back to stock, or upgrade to the next stage of performance software for their vehicle.

Please note some later year gearbox software is still in development. In this case a lower torque file will be provided which is safe to run for your gearbox. Upgrading to higher torque files and stage 1 TCU is free of charge when they become available.

STAGE 1 TCU TUNE:

Torque Safety Strategy Enhancements:

• The Dynamic+ ECU Tuning accurately reports torque values to the TCU to ensure that all safety systems are intact in both control units, and the added torque from tuning is properly adjusted for when driving/shifting, including all safety systems designed to protect the engine and transmission. This results in better shift quality as the transmission is not having to reduce engine torque or having to adapt to misreported inputs.

Clutch Pressure Increases:

• In order to safely apply the increased horsepower and torque, DSG Clutch Pressures are increased in all drive modes. Expect to feel firmer and more solid shifts!

STAGE 2 TCU TUNE:

Clutch Pressure Increases:

• In order to safely apply the increased horsepower and torque, DSG Clutch Pressures are increased in all drive modes. Expect to feel firmer and more solid shifts!

Optimized Shift Points:

• In order to take advantage of the increased powerband from the turbocharger, Dynamic+ Tuning optimizes the shift points in Drive & Sport Mode to maximize acceleration while retaining smooth drivability.

Improved Shift Speeds:

• To further enhance the acceleration of your GTI, the DQ381 G2 shift times are dramatically decreased in all driving modes, which ultimately results in quicker acceleration.

Launch Control Optimizations:

• From the factory, the DQ381 G2 launch control strategies used are very neutered and designed for a vehicle on a non-optimal surface with low-grip tires. 034Motorsport Engineers have optimized the launch by raising the factory torque limit to take advantage of a better surface and a grippier tire. This ensures that your GTI will 60ft much more effectively and efficiently!
• Additionally, significant work was put into refining how AMAX shifts are applied during Launch Control, ensuring that each shift maximizes potential acceleration without inducing wheelspin.
