So a couple of days ago I decided to take the plunge and flash my 2017 R DSG. Got the powertap, loaded up win10 on boot camp and went flashing.
When picking the map to flash I was presented with only adjustable file maps and not the regular ones everyone described previously. No problem, I'll flash the base stage 1.5 91 octane map and adjust it up from there.
Finished the flash, went to the adjustment settings and noticed there was boost and octane selections. Not knowing what boost limit settings to use, I left it at 23 and changed the octane to 93. Went for a few pills and the car feels better than my jb4 did up top, but down low it felt like it would spike a little and bring it down very quickly. Then the boost would ramp up more towards redline. This is what I would imagine a low output/torque map would feel like. However, i don't want that.
Jb4 map 4 logging shows a very quick spike that does instantly as well. Throttle and pedal position planted firmly at 100% for both, so it doesn't seem the throttle is closing. Also to note that I disabled the torque limiter using obd11.
So I asked around on some forums and no one could tell me what boost limit I should be using. I assume I can set it higher, but no one can confirm or even mention it. I emailed support and the only answer I got was to read the readme when you open the adjustable settings. Which is fine, but it didn't answer my question at all. I just wanted to know what the boost limit settings for the older stage 1.5 93 maps were.
Any of you guys know anything about what these should be set to?
Ps- I plan on getting the tcu tune as well, but I want a basis of comparassion for a couple of weeks before I flash it.
