Gearbox TCU tuning for Audi A6 3.0 TFSI Compressor (333 hp)

C7 2011 2014 · TCU: Temic DL501 / ZF AL551

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 DL501, ZF AL551.
