Adjust the gear 5 column if you want to change 4th gear
Does this convention hold all the way up the range? Asking about the map with the table/gears 1-7.

Also is the DSG the Max Torque Table 2?

Gear 1 is reverse, 2 is 1, and so on.

I always set the 2 tables the same so I don't have to worry about it.

Haven't tuned a 7spd car so can't speak to that yet.

Is your max table 2, 0-6? I only change my max table 2 and I have a manual. DSG is likely Max Table 1. Change both to be sure as Hoon suggested?

Setting both is what I have been doing just to be safe.

Although I did not know that gear 1 was R.

Thanks for the heads up. Finally got my tune dialed enough to push peak boost to 27-28 and running about E50, so traction is finally an issue. (Slinks away back to the GTI tech section....)

I just wish we could have the naming convention defined to include DSG in the title of the map. The other one could stay 1. Karl That's video I believe had the old torque maps defined by transmission.

Anyone have any tips for flashing to the Stage 3 TCU tune? I keep receiving an error when it is writing Block 3.

I have flashed back to the stock TCU file, and then trying to flash to Stage 3, but keep receiving the same error.

I am licensed and flashed with Maestro Custom NLS/LC file.

If I only have E10 around me in pumps, any harm in setting my "% Alternative Fuel in Tank" to 10% in my file? Would it mean I have a little more headroom in the trims when I'm using Ethanol if my ECU hadn't fully adjusted to the tank?

I went and tested this and found my car had terrible time staying on the 14s for AFR at cruise. I let the car warm up for 3 minutes, cruised at constant 50mph for 10 minutes and it just kept bouncing between 13 and 16. Pulled over at a burger king parking lot and flashed the same map with 0 value in the alt fuel table. Car acted normal on the way home. Maybe this doesn't work right on 1.8s.

I am running Stage 1.5 adjustable on my S3 and I kept the default 0 value for ethanol content. Running E10, fuel trims seem to be spot on so I didn't see a need to mess with it. I did change it to like E30 real quick to see if it was working and it was pulling some fuel (negative fuel trims), so it appears to be working OK. I actually used the android app and it let me change the value while the engine was still running and had real-time effects.

Unfortunately, the slider is not enabled in the 1.8 file. I use the phone app to verify my octane and boost, but the ethanol slider is not available.

How exactly is the Android app used? I've been trying to figure that out for a while and never really found a definitive answer.
