The aim is a consistent delivery of power and torque with smooth everyday behaviour, rather than a peak figure alone. OEM+ also supports a return to the vehicle’s original stock calibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible gearbox tuning revises torque handling and shift behaviour to complement the ECU calibration. DSG dynamic software varies clutch pressure with load, combining everyday driving with the extra torque of the engine calibration. A gearbox licence does not include a physical clutch or a controller unlock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVehicle compatibility and installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen Golf Mk7 — 2.0 TSI (R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine\/controller application: MQB 2.0TSI IS38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed transmission: DQ250 \/ DQ381\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatch the engine code, original power, turbo, emissions equipment and ECU\/TCU software IDs before activation.
