Why do our tunes take time to bed in ? Ignition timing can self adjust from the new base mapping level for one, amongst other things. So your ECU has a base tune on it (which is why you should actually reset your ECU to do stock compared to tuned runs - but anyway) the ECU can essentially self tune to a degree, and that's one cause of it. A series of WOT runs will get it pointing in the right direction straight away - I'm talking 3 and 4th gear, not thrashing the nuts off it in first and second. But watch your speed (!)
However because, in its infinite uniqueness, Viezu tunes carry much more than just your typical 'crank up the boost and make it work' type approach, the methods of getting around torque load limiters on modern day engines and gearboxes is a different kettle of fish altogether. Not all tuners are created equal and all that.
It's why we developed our free-light-dsg tune as part of the new Golf 'R' mapping. It's the much more advanced skilled side of modern day tuning that takes all the awards - just what you should expect from a International Tuning brand such as Viezu. The Golf R light-DSG-tune, for example, is an indirect tune developed from Viezu's detailed expert knowledge of direct DSG tuning. It's why other tuners tell us it's not even possible to do what we do. It is, and we can, and we do. However it gives rise to the process that is the adaptive process, the gearbox having to adapt to the new coding and alter a variety of values for it to realise its new potential.
Incidentally DSG mapping is actually more complex than engine tuning. Now try to combine the two and tune the DSG through the backdoor and you see why Viezu are such geniuses :P
...if all that makes sense.
It's why a manual Golf 'R' will have a much faster bedding in process than a DSG one. The DSG needs more time to adjust. And that's on top of the new base map adjusting in the more traditional sense.
Class dismissed :)
