Gearbox Tuning
At Impact Tuning we have developed a host of DSG transmission tuning services. These DSG transmission upgrades can be applied to a completely stock vehicle improving its driving characteristics or added to tuned vehicle to make the very best from any tuning. Just like our range of ECU remaps, each DSG tuning file is custom written specifically for the vehicle and driver requirements. Every DSG tune can include launch control, shift and torque limiter functions and setting adjustments to give the driver the best possible driving experience.
Mild modifications to the DSG settings can be made to improve shift speed, responsiveness and smoothness, even if you are not a track day driver we believe all drivers will appreciate these changes.
For the more demanding drivers among you we have DSG fast road setup this is a custom tune with a slightly more aggressive feel, it is suitable for modified and tuned vehicles, with this setup your engines performance and vehicles modifications will be perfectly balanced to your DSG calibrations the modifications can include, performance exhausts, sport cats (or de-cat), DPF delete, supercharger or turbo charger upgrades.
Our final DSG tuning option if focused towards the occasional track day driver, we can include launch control, torque settings and optimised shift to suit your vehicle set up and driving style, this will be the most extreme DSG tune that can be applied to your vehicle and whilst maintaining a healthy transmission and is the best track setup and race feel available.
DSG Tuning Options & Benefits
Increased Shift Response
The shift response can be increased by up to 20% providing a smoother gear to gear transition, meaning a reduction of unnecessary clutch slip under full load acceleration protecting your clutch from premature failure.
With the reduced shift times you will also benefit from improved paddle-reaction-time by up to 40% in Sport mode.
Torque Limiter Modifications
The vehicle torque limiter/s are tuned as part of our ECU remap, however if your vehicle is equipped with DSG transmission then you could be missing out as the DSG control unit does have its own inbuilt torque limiters also. Through tuning the DSG control unit we are able to release the extra torque produced from your tuned engine whilst still ensuring the stability and capability of all mechanical moving hardware within the DSG transmission.
RPM Limiter Adjustments
Here just like the torque limiter tuning as above your DSG has control of RPM limiters for each gear there would be no point to make adjustments the engine ecu RPM limiter without the same changes applied to the DSG maps.
Increasing these shift points will give the driver full control and command of the engines power in the upper RPM ranges and we will set the DSG rev limit to work with your engines current setup.
Launch Control
Launch control can be activated in most cars but is particularly effective in DSG equipped vehicles.
A perfect launch can be achieved every time reducing 0-60 acceleration times by maintaining a perfect throttle balance to provide maximum traction off the line.

XHP BMW Pro tuning dealer
Since introduction of the ZF 6HP transmissions in BMW vehicles in the early 2000s they remained a blackbox for Tuners and car enthusiasts worldwide. The ZF6HP units were used throughout the whole BMW range from the 1-series hatchbacks to the mighty Alpina B5 cars putting out around 500 bhp and 700 Nm of torque. While the hardware stays widely the same throughout all applications and is mainly divided in only 2 types (6HP19/21 and 6HP26/28), the software inside the controller makes it possible to adapt the transmission to every vehicle and mimic a wide range of driver styles. Smooth and comfy (some call it “sluggish”) in the Diesel applications, the same transmission in the Alpina B3/B5 come with a way more sportier touch and make it hard to believe, that they are from the same breed.
Tweaking a transmission is not only about getting quicker or holding more power. Few people are aware of how deeply an automatic transmission contributes to the overall driving experience. From crawling in traffic, over city driving, to taking a vehicle to the drag strip or a race track, the TCU widely defines how the car feels. Like everyone drives different with a manual, the maps inside the TCU hide the secrets to tweak an automatic transmission to the likings of your customers, so that they can finally experience what BMW promised back then in the glossy brochure:
