FVD Performance PDK Transmission Software Upgrade - TCU Upgrade - Send In

Description

This is the most comprehensive PDK Transmission software upgrade in the industry. Since 1983, FVD-Brombacher has been setting the standard for Porsche engine building and tuning in Germany. Our broad mechanical knowledge of the flat 6 Porsche engine naturally led to our development of Engine Management software, Tiptronic Transmission Software and Hardware and now PDK Transmission Software. This software has been developed to work on all Porsche models from 2009 + with PDK transmissions.

The PDK transmission software upgrade includes 3 stages. You can pick the stage that best suits your needs or a combination based on your driving needs for street, track or a combination of both.

Stage 1*:
- Modification of shifting times (shorter shifting / gear switching times)
- Modification of rocker switch/paddle response time (shorter)
- Suspension or modification of the torque limiter
- Deactivation or modification of compulsory upshift in any mode (manual, normal, sport, sport plus)
- Deactivation of downshift on Kickdown prevented in any mode (manual, normal, sport, sport plus)
- Improved switching characteristics (i.e. no jerking, smooth transition when shifting)
- Modification of speed limit

Stage 2*:
- Modification of shift points – allowing a higher max. rotational speed (Nmax)
- Modification of the clutch pressure (no slipping clutch, especially turbo vehicles)
- Modification of switching operations to individual driving behavior
- Activating Launch Control in all modes (manual, normal, sport, sport plus)

*Additional options for Stage 1 and 2:
- Reprogramming rocker switches
- Reprogramming gear levers (direction +/-)
- Activating Launch Control for vehicles without chrono sport and chrono sport plus

Stage 3:
- Individual programming car characteristics based on any options in Stage 1 and 2
- Customized Tuning of Launch Control

Please note: For any of the above modifications, we need the PDK control unit (TCU) for 1-2 business days in Germany. In addition, we will need the year of your car, optional modifications you are running, the power increase over stock and if you need street modifications or race modifications. FVD PDK software is designed to function with FVD performance software (ECU) only. If you have competitor's performance software on the (ECU), we cannot upgrade your PDK software. The PDK TCU and Engine ECU must communicate with one another via our calibrations on both units, which is critical from a reliability standpoint. Stage modifications are dependent upon the version of the TCU, so not all TCU's allow for all of the options that we list. Please provide us with a list of what stage and options you would like when ordering and once we receive the TCU, we can let you know what can and cannot be done.
