Unlock the full potential of your Continental Turbo-powered MQB Evo platform vehicles with RacingLine's OEM+ ECU and TCU tuning software. Engineered for street and track use, available for DQ381 DSG variants.

Having both the ECU and TCU software lets us extract the most out of the vehicle, running the higher torque files at every stage. The lower torque files can still be available to some FWD models, which can still benefit from this option, delivering a smoother, more linear power curve. 

Stock Power Figures | 300-333 ps | 380Nm

Free upgrades to higher software levels, Powermax software incurs a small upgrade fee.

RacingLine DQ381 Dynamic TCU Tuning Software

Recent development work from RacingLine now means that the second generation of DQ381 gearboxes can now be mapped without having to replace the Mechatronic control unit. 
With a simple plug in cable we can unlock the gearbox to get round the '401' boot loader, allowing for OBD tuning of the DQ381 G2 at a much lower overall cost!

• Dynamic Control, continuously adapting clamping pressure and eliminating the need for fixed-stage tuning
• Increased RPM limits, allowing the engine to reach full potential before shifting
• Refined shift strategies for smoother daily driving and sharper power delivery
• Increased clamping pressure, calibrated to handle greater torque demands without slip
• Higher torque limits, preventing the ECU from unnecessarily restricting power output

PDM / Home Installation Features

• Map switching - toggle between mapping profiles/features
• Anti-theft mode - immobilises the vehicle at the software level
