034MOTORSPORT MK8 GOLF R AND 8Y AUDI S3 DQ381 G2 STAGE DESCRIPTIONS:
Stage 1 (Included with Purchase of 034Motorsport MK8 Golf R and 8Y Audi S3 Stage 1 & Stage 2 ECU Tuning):
034Motorsport Stage 1 Transmission Performance Tuning Software for the DQ381 G2 is included in the Dynamic+ Tuning Bundle with our Stage 1 ECU software. 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.
Stage 2:
The 034Motorsport Stage 2 Transmission Performance Tuning Software for the DQ381 G2 is designed to further improve the drivability and performance of your Dynamic+ Tuned MK8 Golf R and 8Y Audi S3. Dynamic+ Stage 2 TCU Software can be used with our Stage 1 OR upcoming Stage 2 ECU software. 034Motorsport Stage 2 TCU Tuning further improves shifting performance and speed for casual and track driving in all driving modes. Dynamic+ Tuning also improves the launch control strategy to ensure you have the most optimal launch possible.
DYNAMIC+ TCU FEATURES:
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:
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!
Kickdown Switch Disabled in Manual Mode:
When in Manual mode, you no longer need to worry about accidentally pushing through the kickdown switch on the throttle pedal!
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 Golf R and 8Y Audi S3, 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 Golf R and 8Y Audi S3 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.
My Mk8 R remembers the last drive mode setting, just as claimed. I have to say, the experience of getting things working went pretty smooth, with the 2 factor authentication on OBDeleven the only part that caused me any true heartache. Anyway, glad I did it, and super happy to not have to mess around with drive mode settings EVERY time I restart the car.
Getting my matrix lights activated was the easiest process I could ever imagine. I think it took all of 15 mins maybe from start to finish. I couldn't be happier. This is a great upgrade
This should have been from factory! But then Ryan wouldn’t be in business 👨💼! On a serious note these guys are awesome in what they do, in product upgrades and customer service , highly recommended
The matrix activation/dynamic headlights is a must have. On country roads where there are no street lights, I can see the edge of the road and keep an eye out for deer while not upsetting oncoming traffic. Not only that, the high beam pattern seems better focused on the road ahead than it did before the activation. 100/10!
I have the stock HK sound system on my 22 R with the 1969 firmware update. Bass is better and so are the highs and mids. Remote coding was so easy and simple!
Got this for my R and couldn’t be more impressed about how easy it was to get done remotely. Anthony and Ryan are awesome! Don’t hesitate to get this or any other remote coding service.
Ryan called EXACTLY on time, was professional, knowledgeable, and personable, and even shooting the breeze for a bit (totally my doing) we were still done in about 20 minutes. The required cables were sent to me from Amazon so everything was ready to go and then I went to the website and set up my appointment Everything worked exactly as promised. I had the Lock When Leaving, Drive Mode Remembering, and Travel Assist Auto Lane Change. I could not be happier with Anthony or Ryan and I will definitely be using them again in the future.
Being a car nerd love having the functionality of the technology. Appreciate Anthony’s knowledge and enthusiasm. He made it a pretty quick and simple process
A great experience with Anthony from start to finish. Explained everything that would happen during the activation and even some extras thrown in for free! All at a price lower than the others :)
For the price you just can't beat this. A really nice bump in sound quality accross the board, and a bump in output as well. I had done a passive subwoofer upgrade to the 12" Cerwin Vega, and it was just like 10% underpowered to match the rest of the system, and this tuning ACM did was enough of a boost to the bass that it feels like a perfectly tuned stock system now. For the price of the sub and this tuning, it is night and day from the stock setup, sounds like a HK system should sound.
