We will find out. I'm not worried about the DSG limits at all. Working on the fuel pump limits.
Glad to know that someone is developing or is in the process of developing a turbo kit in the U.S.. Not taking away from others who have already done so. I would be a future customer for you and Malone for both the turbo kit, exhaust, and tuning.
Now, my questions as it has been discussed before on previous threads and here is the DSG. I am a transmission builder by trade and have done numerous Dodge, Chevy, and Ford diesel transmissions. I do have a vey good understanding on the principles of it all. I am also aware that there have been a number of high hp gas DSG units running factory setups that have seemed to work. That have used upgraded clutches only to go back to stock. Know I do not expect these people to tell us there secret. But VW DSG units are fairly straight forward.
My opinion at this time is the crazy prices that upgraded clutches fetch! The DSG is nothing more a simple dual clutch manual with a mechatronic valve body. NOW I am simplifying it here. People can search Google. How will Malone address the reprogram of the DSG TCM and the reprogramming of the mechatronic. Not saying that he does not know what he is doing or that the reprogramming is not worth it. I just want to know what he does. Are there increases in line pressure? Clutch overlap and application rates? Using better clutches does not solve issues. It can address a particular issue but not all of the problems. On the units I work on, there are various areas that are addressed as a whole.
I hate to invest in a product capable of 500 ft lbs of torque but be limited to 350. That is quite a bit left on the table unused. And if I did a turbo kit on my car it will be for the most power that I can shoot for. As noted, until fueling issues are solved we will be limited. It still leaves me with the issue of a concise asnswer on how to address the DSG question. That is what will be done to "beef them up."
Thanks and look forward to your response.
