Our OEM+ Performance Software is simply the most effective modification you can make to the latest 2.0 TSI engine.
Every aspect of an engine’s behaviour is controlled by the calibration software installed on the Engine Control Unit (ECU), your car’s on-board computer.
We offer three separate stages of performance for the 2.0 TSI within the OEM+ range. Read below to see what’s on offer with OEM+ and how it can significantly & safely enhance the power of your vehicle:
AUDI S1 2.0 TSI
SKODA OCTAVIA II vRS – 2.0 TSI
VW GOLF 7 GTI – 2.0 TSI

NOTE
All of the above power figures are accurate, tested illustrations; however, please do remember that actual power figures can vary up or down somewhat dependant on many factors such as the condition of your engine & ancillaries, the fuel quality, other modifications fitted, and even testing methods.
Also please remember that changing your car’s software will affect its manufacturer warranty. It is your responsibility to notify your insurer and to ensure that your car still complies with all your local road laws. Please consult your supplying dealer for full information.
TCU DYNAMIC SOFTWARE OPTIONS
Our OEM+ TCU Dynamic Software is simply an essential upgrade to get the most out of any modified DSG car.
Several years of road and track 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 car from standard, through Stage 1, right up to Stage 3. So unlike some, there’s no need for a new TCU calibration each time you increase your car’s performance.
WHAT DOES OEM+ TCU TUNING DO?
Our TCU Dynamic upgrades are simply the best modification you can make to your DSG or S Tronic transmission.
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, right up to a mighty 19 bar pressure. The result? Shifts are even faster, giving harder acceleration through the gears, whatever level of performance your car has – up to Stage 3.
Meanwhile, the driving mode strategy itself is optimised to suit higher power levels, giving a more natural gear selection profile. Flick the car 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).
Not only that, launch control will get you off the line quicker through allowing more boost at launch and increased launch RPM, combined with a less intrusive traction control in launch mode.
BENEFITS OF OEM+ TCU DYNAMIC SOFTWARE
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.
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. Our dynamic TCU map is essential for any car going to Stage 2 or above.
GREAT PERFORMANCE
Raised shift points and increased clutch clamping pressure beyond factory torque levels ensure the quickest changes possible for the best performance.
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.
OEM+ TCU calibrations will never overstress the DSG’s inherent hardware systems.
COMPATIBILITY
Our OEM+ 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.
Whilst it is not necessary to use RacingLine hardware, all of our OEM+ testing and development has been completed utilising our own products to ensure perfect performance and compatibility. We cannot guarantee power figures or reliability should you wish to use other branded hardware products not manufactured or sold through RacingLine Performance and our associated dealer network.
