So I've been debating on how to go about my last stage of upgrades. These are just my ramblings.
My goal is to be able to sit in my own 400whp hot hatch. I drive a DCT.
From what I've gather after searching for hours on the internet is it's all uncharted territory. Because the TCM pulls power at 270, there aren't any DCT's pushing more power. Or if there are, no one has posted about it. I have to think someone's bought the upgrade... but I haven't seen any examples in the wild.
Does the TCM pull power because it's detecting slip in the stock DCT (ie. solvable with an upgraded dct)?
Or is it hard programmed to do so at that power level (ie. upgrading wouldn't solve the problem alone)?
Talked to 3 or 4 people about solutions and I've heard very different answers from each. I'm probably going to regret this later but I'm the sort of person that can't accept not knowing something. So I think I'm going to push ahead and see what I can do with this car while I've got it. If I fail, I fail. But at least I'll know for certain. I've got two mustangs and a 2 series to beat lol.
This might take me 2-3 years but dammit I'm going to find out! Here's to bad investments, to the mooooooon
