DSG TCU Dynamic Tuning
by RacingLine.
The RacingLine OEM+ TCU Dynamic Software & Tuning is an essential upgrade to get the most out of any modified DSG or S-tronic car.
Several years of road and track development have given us the smartest transmission software on the market: by continually feeding the engine ECU’s torque demands through to the gearbox’s controller, the system dynamically calculates and adjusts the DSG’s variable clutch pressures to suit whatever your power output is.
​
Meaning that just one RacingLine TCU software upgrade will serve your car from standard, through Stage 1, right up to Stage 3 and beyond. So unlike some, there's no need for a new TCU calibration each time you increase your car’s performance.
Smart stuff.
What does TCU
DSG tuning do?
Our engineers reprogram the gearbox's calibration inside the TCU (Transmission Control Unit). This allows the transmission to maintain higher torque levels through our dynamic clutch pressure strategy, right up to a mighty 19 bar pressure. The result? Shifts are even faster, giving harder acceleration through the gears, whatever level of performance your car has - up to and beyond Stage 3.
Meanwhile, the driving mode strategy itself is optimised to suit higher power levels, giving a more natural gear selection profile. Flick the car over to manual, and at last you'll have true gear control at your fingertips - no auto-upshift*, no kick down until you command it (or drop back to D/S modes).
​
Not only that, launch control will get you off the line quicker through allowing more boost at launch and increased launch RPM, combined with a less intrusive traction control in launch mode.

What RacingLine OEM+
Dynamic TCU Software gives.
The benefits.
UNIQUE APPROACH
Our smart TCU software takes its feed from the ECU to calculate torque demands: meaning one flash gives dynamic clutch pressure whatever your engine tune.
GREAT PERFORMANCE
Raised shift points and increased clutch clamping pressure beyond factory torque levels ensure the quickest changes possible for the best performance.
TORQUE LIMITS
By increasing the torque limiters in the gearbox, the 'box will no longer command the engine ECU to pull power back. Meaning the full potential of the engine is no longer limited. Our dynamic TCU map is essential for any car going to Stage 2 or above.
DRIVING PLEASURE
We're all keen drivers, and what better than taking full control of your car with our True Manual Mode. Even in normal 'D' mode, shift strategy is more natural, avoiding those annoying upshifts right through to top gear at low speeds.
PEACE OF MIND
We are uniquely positioned to tap into a
vast knowledge base and resources
network during our development.
OEM+ TCU calibrations will never overstress the DSG's inherent hardware systems.
COMPATIBILITY
Our OEM+ TCU tunes are compatible with all engine ECU software. So even if you've already chosen another brand, you can still enjoy our TCU smart software.

Even if you want to use our PDM Flash at Home system, our RacingLine dealers are there to help to verify the health of your car prior to flashing, to ensure that the programming has been correctly installed and finally to verify the successful performance after install. And, to be there for you should you have any concerns post-purchase.
