Figured it was finally time to give these platforms their own dedicated thread. George and I will be adding content here as time allows.

Been tuning with George on a map6, he mentioned about you may need to plug another sensor in, did you’se get anywhere with this?

Yes, we got the functionality working on Thursday and I am busy testing it. Will post with instructions once complete for R/Cupra/S3 users.

Hi, is there any progress on the finality of this tune? Looking to upgrade to a 23 S3 soon.

[Terry @ BMS]

We've done tons of them! We've got a MK8 GTI and Golf R in house for development.

Nice! Any data logs? Looking at an 8Y S3 or DSG Golf R (provided I can find one that isn’t 10k over sticker)

I recall having some issues with the MK7 GTI JB4 where timing would flatline on the 3-4 shift (similar to the issue on the IJE0S N54s with piggy only) and the DSG shifting like a slush box on cold start. Took the JB4 out to troubleshoot the DSG shifting behavior and the issue never came back.

Granted these issues are on a different platform, but it’s worth asking if this issue was identified and corrected.

PS: I hope they trade Westbrick and picks for Lavine. It’ll make the playoffs interesting!

I took mine out on the track for an HPDE and it did well on Map 1 and Map 2, anything higher than that and it was unhappy and set itself down to Map 0. Sill quite enjoyable around town in Map 3 but not suitable for WOT 3-4 with a DSG.

Hi,

Check in the user adjustment section what last safety is set to. If 1 then you need to raise the Boost safety value by around 2.

Is this the correct screen?

Yes, you need to scroll down a bit further.

Right, I think I got it now:

Right, I think I got it now:

Raise the fuel open loop value to 65 and see if it occurs again.

The car seems much happier now, no delay after WOT shifts from 3>4. Thanks!
