This is RacingLine's OEM+ performance TCU software for MQB Evo 7-speed DSG gearboxes, covering the DQ381 and selected DQ500 cars such as the Golf 8 GTI and R, Audi S3 8Y and Cupra VZx models. It recalibrates clutch pressure, torque limits, shift behaviour and manual-mode control. Many 2021-on cars use a locked 401 bootloader, and RacingLine's CommsLink unlock restores tuning access on supported gearboxes. The unlock is done through the RacingLine server, with no mechatronic swap or gearbox strip-down.
Features
- Stops the gearbox requesting unnecessary engine torque reduction
- Revised clutch pressure and torque limits
- Sharper shifts and better manual-mode control
- CommsLink unlock for locked 2021-on controllers
