I would like to start a thread with only posts and discussion about experience of ppl ACTUALLY having xhp dct flashed. In the other threads i feel like its no discussion about ppl actually using it! Please respect this before posting things like "Is it worth to buy it?" "Should i wait for updates before buying?" "Will it make my car faster?"...
Please do not ask to convince you from buying it!
Yes it improves shifting also on Stock turbos you idiot.. (i can´t believe that this is probably one of the most asked questions on Retard FB groups)
"My Tuner said that i already have optimal clutch pressure for my DCT so i don´t need it" - OMFG. REALLY??? IT IS NOT ONLY ABOUT INCREASED CLUTCH PRESSURE!!!! AAHHH
Delete FB! The idiot density is unbelievable.
Ah and "What can you adjust with the software?" - RTFM!
Here the link for you lazy pos: https://www.xhpflashtool.com/fileadmin/user_upload/manuals/xhp_manual_en.pdf
Its just a try from my side to have maybe an informative thread rather than if and when blabla..
So i start.
Car: 2009 EU E92 w/ INA0S + 16T Chinesium@18PSI Redline
Flash: XHP DCT Stg3
Mileage: 60k Miles
Service to DCT: Not yet but my oil pan is leaking
Clutch: Stock
XHP Settings:
Everything Stock Stg3 except Torque Reduction set to 600.
Experience:
So directly to my issue. From a standstill it feels different than before. If you release the brake pedal the car starts creeping and the take off is fine. But if you hit the throttle for a normal take off it is weird. Its like the clutches hammer together and the car jerks for a tiny moment.
Also during driving i always had the feeling that after shift the rpm stays fixed for a bit before rising again. I am not sure if it is clutch slip. The weird thing is that you see it on the speedometer but actually the sound of the engine does not reflect this. Sounds like before. I need to log.
This is only in completely normal D Mode.
In all modes with the dsc button hit once (or completely off) and sport button activated its a dream to drive. The shifts are now as i think it is in the M Cars.
I think this is where you will really see and definitely feel the improved tune of your gearbox. Also the "issue" with the feeling of a slipping clutch or whatever is going on is not there!
I really have to make logs.
A yeah. Bang after shift or DSG Fart. Meh. Sometimes its there other times not. But when i hear it is kind of cool. I like it. I bet this gives extra 10 whp.
Other than my probably minor issues i love the tune and don´t want to miss it. I hope that this is only the beginning.
This was with Torque Reduction set to 500 and here i also made the most experience with the new tune until now.
I changed Torque Reduction to 600 now but only drove for a few miles since then. But that rev matching between engine and gearbox or slip or whatever it was seems to be gone after that change.
I have actually nothing negative to say except that in D Mode the engine shifts much earlier now and i may have to adjust this with the Shiftmap Editor.
So not a lot of experience here. But its a start
A bit of general information i collected:
I was told that one have to find his/hers personal best settings by custom tuning it per car. There are no "This works perfect for everybody" settings per se. XHP told me that everybody should play with Torque Reduction and Torque Punch to find his sweet spot.
So Ken@Wedge recommended that one should leave Torque Punch stock and play with Torque Reduction step by step and see what happens. He said that you will feel when you overshot your sweet spot. I have to verify this but can´t drive at the moment.
Actually this was confirmed to me by a FB PM from XHP but they were saying that Torque Reduction and Torque Punch go hand in hand somehow. But i really don´t want that Torque Punch...
They also told me the highter you set the torque reduction the more fart after shift you will experience. But i am really sure that you should not set the value by the fart character you experience.
Besides the Power running the Flywheel will have a effect on "your personal" sweet spot settings as RPM will drop faster with a lighter flywheel.
I have no interest in LC so never tested.
In manual we have a true manual mode now.
So sorry that i have no real issues here to report.
But i am really curious on ppl with upgraded turbos and their way to the sweet spot settings.
Please do not ask to convince you from buying it!
