Info
GIAC Stage 1 Plus adds horsepower, torque and more throttle response throughout the power band. This calibration is compatible with vehicles that have no other upgrades to basic "bolt-ons".
inter-cooler upgrade, as well as a GIAC transmission flash will improve performance.

Info
GIAC's performance DSG software truly optimize launch control, shift and torque limiter features for the end users performance modifications. Matching this program with the GIAC engine calibration will give the best results.
- Increased linearity on part throttle input, nearly to 1:1 input between accelerator pedal and throttle plate
- Faster, smoother transitions between gears at part and wide open throttle
- Part throttle torque limiters for shifts removed to alleviate potential hard shifting due to exceeding torque limit (alleviates “EPC limp mode� issues specific to this as well)
- Launch control limiter set at 3500 RPM for FWD models / 3700 - 4500 for AWD models ( platform dependent )
- Launch control torque limits removed allowing full power launching and full clutch clamping pressure with launch control
- Hard rev limiters set at stock limits
- Remapped drive mode "drive plus program" with recalibrated shift logic and slightly more aggressive gear holding points
- Full clutch clamping pressure at wide open throttle allows for 100% power delivery to the ground
- Optimized torque limits to better match increased engine power with ECU performance software
- Improved clutch pack transitions between shifts for cleaner shift feel
- Manual mode kick-down disabled / Auto upshift still enabled
- Improved upshift/downshift paddle response time
- Optimized transmission overheat protection

Info
GIAC is proud to announce the release of transmission performance software for the 7 speed Audi ® 8V A3 equipped with DQ381 DSG transmissions. This program supports higher torque levels, faster shift speeds in all modes and modified launch and shift points. The Drive and Sport mode remapping includes more aggressive gear selection and feel, while clutch clamping pressures have been increased in all modes to reduce the potential for clutch slip. GIAC DSG performance software for the DQ381 complements our performance engine calibrations, and is installed through the OBDII port in minutes, using regular GIAC dealer flashing cables or the Flashloader Mobile ( flash at home ) device. Installation of the GIAC product does not require removal of the DSG computer from the car at any time. This software release includes both U.S. models and international models.

GIAC DQ381 MQB software features:

Stage 1: (MSRP: $700.00 USD or $600.00 USD if bundled with a GIAC Engine Flash)
- Faster, smoother transitions between gears at part and wide open throttle.
- Part throttle torque limiters for shifts modified to alleviate potential hard shifting due to exceeding torque limit.
- "Off the shelf" launch control limiter set at 3600 RPM for FWD to reduce wheel spin at higher torque levels.
- Launch control torque limits removed allowing full power launching and full clutch clamping pressure with launch control.
- Remapped Drive and Sport mode shift logic and slightly more aggressive gear holding strategies.
- Higher clutch clamping pressure at wide open throttle allows for 100% power delivery to the ground.
- Optimized torque limits to better match increased engine power with ECU performance software.
- Improved clutch pack transitions between shifts for cleaner shift feel.
- Manual mode kick-down disabled / Auto upshift still enabled.
- Gear indicator in all modes.

Hand Held Flashloader Switcher

GIAC's Flashloader Handheld Switcher allows users to switch between GIAC-tuned software programs with the touch of a button. The product is a pocket-sized,hand-held device that plugs directly into the OBD port. It uses serial flashing technology and requires no additional hardware within the DME.

Switching is performed by selecting the desired mode with the touch buttons. Cycling the ignition will save the new mode to the ECU's memory and retain its state until switched again.
