DSG DQ500 Transporter
TCU Dynamic Tuning
by RacingLine.
The RacingLine OEM+ TCU Dynamic Software & Tuning is a great upgrade to get the most out of any modified DSG DQ500 Transporter.
Several years of road and dyno development have given us the smartest transmission software on the market: by continually feeding the engine ECU’s torque demands through to the gearbox’s controller, the system dynamically calculates and adjusts the DSG’s variable clutch pressures to suit whatever your power output is.
​
Meaning that just one RacingLine TCU software upgrade will serve your van from standard through to Stage 1, with greatly improved drivability and performance transforming responses.
Smart stuff.
What does TCU
DSG tuning do?
Our engineers reprogram the gearbox's calibration inside the TCU (Transmission Control Unit). This allows the transmission to maintain higher torque levels through our dynamic clutch pressure strategy. The result? Shifts are even faster, responses are better throughout the gears, whatever level of performance your van has.
Meanwhile, the driving mode strategy itself is optimised to suit higher power levels, giving a more natural gear selection profile.
Flick the lever over to manual, and at last you'll have true gear control at your fingertips - no auto-upshift*, no kick down until you command it (or drop back to D/S modes).​

* auto-upshift disable not available on certain gearbox codes
What RacingLine DQ500
Dynamic TCU Software gives.
The benefits.
UNIQUE APPROACH
Our smart TCU software takes its feed from the ECU to calculate torque demands: meaning one flash gives dynamic clutch pressure whatever your engine tune.
GREAT PERFORMANCE
Raised shift points and increased clutch clamping pressure beyond factory torque levels ensure the quickest changes possible for the best performance.
TORQUE LIMITS
By increasing the torque limiters in the gearbox, the 'box will no longer command the engine ECU to pull power back. Meaning the full potential of the engine is no longer limited.
DRIVING PLEASURE
We're all keen drivers, and what better than taking full control of your car with our True Manual Mode. Even in normal 'D' mode, shift strategy is more natural, avoiding those annoying upshifts right through to top gear at low speeds.
PEACE OF MIND
We are uniquely positioned to tap into a
vast knowledge base and resources
network during our development.
Our TCU calibrations will never overstress the DSG's inherent hardware systems.
COMPATIBILITY
RacingLine TCU tunes are compatible with all engine ECU software. So even if you've already chosen another brand, you can still enjoy our TCU smart software.

Installation.
Our Dynamic TCU software can be purchased and installed through any one of our recognised worldwide RacingLine Technical Centres, or if you prefer, via our PDM Flash at Home system. Simply visit our dealer locater page to find your nearest RacingLine agent and drop them a line to find out more information or book in.
RacingLine
Technical Centres.
Some people ask why we supply RacingLine Software through dealers. It's because to properly access a car's ECU programming is a complex and technical task.
We believe in doing the job correctly, especially for such a technical upgrade. That's why we've chosen our global network of RacingLine Technical Centres. Even if you want to use our PDM Flash at Home system, our RacingLine dealers are there to help to verify the health of your car prior to flashing, to ensure that the programming has been correctly installed and finally to verify the successful performance after install. And, to be there for you should you have any concerns post-purchase.
