Gearbox TCU tuning for Audi A3 2.0 TDI (150 hp)

8V 2012 2016 · TCU: Temic DQ250 MQB / Temic DQ250E / Temic DQ250F

What we change in the gearbox

A tuned engine can be held back by the torque limits in the gearbox. We raise those limits in the gearbox control unit itself, which is better than hiding the torque from the gearbox in the engine ECU.

Faster shift timesGear changes are completed sooner.

Modified shift pointsThe gearbox shifts at engine speeds that suit the tuned engine.

Raised torque limitersThe gearbox accepts the higher engine torque and no longer holds it back.

Raised rpm limitsHigher shift and limiter speeds where the engine allows it.

Higher clutch pressure where neededMore clamping force, so the clutches hold the extra torque.

Gearbox control unit: Temic DQ250 MQB, Temic DQ250E, Temic DQ250F.
