DSG and Dynos

[SilverRings]

So, the DSG has a kick down switch at WOT. How do you avoid this in a dyno pull? What rpm can you take the car to, then floor it and not have the kick down engauged. Just wondering how everyone handles that.

Go TO the kickdown until 5k. Then, you should be able to go past. Either way, you don't really have to go past the kickdown.

You can go WOT without engaging the kickdown. Basically, any accelerator position over 80% is WOT, and the kickdown is not engaged until after that. It just takes some finesse and getting use to to find the sweet spot.

If you can log with VCDS while doing it, it's real easy to see.

Correct. We tested this as well by shutting off the kick down switch for dyno purposed and found identical results.
