034Motorsport MK8 GTI DQ381 G2 Stage Descriptions:

Stage 1 (Included with Purchase of 034Motorsport MK8 GTI Stage 1 & Stage 2 ECU Tuning):

034Motorsport Stage 1 Transmission Performance Tuning Software for the DQ381 G2 is included in the Dynamic+ Tuning Bundle with our Stage 1 ECU software. The Dynamic+ ECU Tuning accurately reports torque values to the TCU to ensure that all safety systems are intact in both control units, and the added torque from tuning is properly adjusted for when driving/shifting, including all safety systems designed to protect the engine and transmission. This results in better shift quality as the transmission is not having to reduce engine torque or having to adapt to misreported inputs.

Stage 2:

The 034Motorsport Stage 2 Transmission Performance Tuning Software for the DQ381 G2 is designed to further improve the drivability and performance of your Dynamic+ Tuned MK8 GTI. Dynamic+ Stage 2 TCU Software can be used with our Stage 1 OR upcoming Stage 2 ECU software. 034Motorsport Stage 2 TCU Tuning further improves shifting performance and speed for casual and track driving in all driving modes. Dynamic+ Tuning also improves the launch control strategy to ensure you have the most optimal launch possible.

Stage 3

The 034Motorsport Stage 3 Transmission Performance Tuning Software for the DQ381 G2 is designed to further improve the drivability and acceleration performance of your Stage 3R Dynamic+ Tuned MK8 GTI. Dynamic+ Stage 3 TCU Software is designed to be used with Dynamic+ Stage 3R ECU Software. 034Motorsport Stage 3 TCU Tuning further optimizes shift points under partial and full throttle to keep the Golf R Turbocharger in their peak power band for maximum performance with the larger turbocharger!

Dynamic+ TCU Features:

Stage 1 TCU Tune:

Torque Safety Strategy Enhancements:

  • The Dynamic+ ECU Tuning accurately reports torque values to the TCU to ensure that all safety systems are intact in both control units, and the added torque from tuning is properly adjusted for when driving/shifting, including all safety systems designed to protect the engine and transmission. This results in better shift quality as the transmission is not having to reduce engine torque or having to adapt to misreported inputs.

Clutch Pressure Increases:

  • In order to safely apply the increased horsepower and torque, DSG Clutch Pressures are increased in all drive modes. Expect to feel firmer and more solid shifts!


Stage 2 TCU Tune:

Torque Safety Strategy Enhancements:

  • The Dynamic+ ECU Tuning accurately reports torque values to the TCU to ensure that all safety systems are intact in both control units, and the added torque from tuning is properly adjusted for when driving/shifting, including all safety systems designed to protect the engine and transmission. This results in better shift quality as the transmission is not having to reduce engine torque or having to adapt to misreported inputs.

Clutch Pressure Increases:

  • In order to safely apply the increased horsepower and torque, DSG Clutch Pressures are increased in all drive modes. Expect to feel firmer and more solid shifts!

Optimized Shift Points:

  • In order to take advantage of the increased powerband from the turbocharger, Dynamic+ Tuning optimizes the shift points in Drive & Sport Mode to maximize acceleration while retaining smooth drivability.

Improved Shift Speeds:

  • To further enhance the acceleration of your GTI, the DQ381 G2 shift times are dramatically decreased in all driving modes, which ultimately results in quicker acceleration.

Launch Control Optimizations:

  • From the factory, the DQ381 G2 launch control strategies used are very neutered and designed for a vehicle on a non-optimal surface with low-grip tires. 034Motorsport Engineers have optimized the launch by raising the factory torque limit to take advantage of a better surface and a grippier tire. This ensures that your GTI will 60ft much more effectively and efficiently!
  • Additionally, significant work was put into refining how AMAX shifts are applied during Launch Control, ensuring that each shift maximizes potential acceleration without inducing wheelspin.

Best Watch Ever Made
I am a watch collector. I have about 50 watches - of all different sorts: automatic, quartz, analog, digital, high-end (luxury - like omega) and low-end (timex). This watch is hands-down the best watch in my collection. Sure I wouldn’t wear it with a suit. But in literally every other occasion this watch is perfect. It’s always accurate to the second - you never have to set it. And it syncs really well with atomic time (here in the US and in the UK from my experience). Also the world time feature is perfect when traveling - simply push the top two buttons in world time mode to switch the new time zone to your current time zone. Its button configuration is perfect compared to other digital watches. And the battery will last basically indefinitely. Perhaps you might need to add a new solar powered watch battery replacement once in your lifetime if the battery stops taking any charge. The stopwatch and timer are useful for me daily. And the hourly signal on the alarm mode is great when you want to be more mindful of the time. Sure Casio makes other similarly functioned watches that are just as fun. But I think where this reigns supreme over those is its classic design, perfect functionality and button layout, and its size. And it beats a smart watch in terms of battery life, durability, and reliability. I promise you won’t dislike this watch - unless you think the design is ugly… which I understand if you do. But give it a chance and you might discover the joy and security this watch gives me.

Perhaps the Perfect Digital Watch
This is perhaps as close to a perfect digital watch as you can get. Besides the toughness of a G=Shock, it's got all the daily features one may need (alarm - which you can set up to 5, stopwatch and countdown timer). It also has world time, which is a nice feature to have when travelling. When in stop watch and time modes, the current time is displayed in the upper right corner of the display where the date normally is. It's solar powered, and the display shows how much power the watch has. Multi-band 6 is another feature, so it automatically sets the time once it receives a signal from an atomic clock transmitter. YMMV with this feature though. I have difficulty receiving the signal being on the U.S. east coast (the transmitter is in Colorado). There are phone apps you can use to strengthen the signal if normal reception fails. Despite this, it can be manually set if needed. Visibility of the display is an upgrade over the DW-5600. It's more clear, and more visible at different viewing angles. The standard backlight is now LED instead of the classic electroluminescence. Some prefer the latter. This may or may not be a deal breaker based on personal preference, but considering what this watch has to offer, it should only be a consideration in the bigger picture. The watch offers a great fit for G-Shock. With its slim profile, it lacks the bulk of many of the other G-Shock models out there. It's very comfortable to wear on different size wrists, though the strap may not be everyone's cup of tea. The design is very much retro, harkening back to the 1983 original square with the red border. For the price of this watch, it really is a great value. It's also possibly the only digital watch you'll ever need unless you want other functions like tides, barometers, etc. In my collection, this watch is one of my favorites. There's a good chance it will become one of yours too.

Most practical watch
I'm a watch collector and I enjoy classic men's watches. One thing that I can't stand is that no matter where you turn around you always see bunch of people with the same exact smart watch of a certain brand on their wrists. So boring. So cliche. So annoying. As the phones aren't enough. Anyway, excluding this Casio that I bought last year out of nostalgia, I have 6 other watches with combined value of $30K: a Sea Dweller, a Seamaster, an Aquaracer, a Seiko Cpt Willard, a Seiko Arnie and a Citizen Nighthawk. Yet I wear this cheap $100 Casio most of the time - when I'm outdoors, when I'm at home, in a pool ..... - Virtually 90% of the the time and situations that don't warrant wearing a luxury/dressy watch. That says enough how much I like this retro looking G-Shock! It's by far the most practical watch I have and it has all the features you would want in an EDC watch: toughness, solar power, waterproof, alarm, timer, date, light, multiple times zones... I highly recommend it for men of all ages, backgrounds and lines of work.

The perfect "set it and forget it" watch
I finally decided to swap my smartwatch for something simpler, and honestly, I couldn't be happier with this G-Shock. The best part is definitely the zero maintenance aspect. Since it's solar powered, I don't have to worry about charging it or swapping batteries. It also has Multiband 6, which basically means it syncs with atomic clocks every night (assuming you're in range of the broadcast tower and have good signal). It is literally never off by even a second. If you’re someone who values total accuracy but wants to go a bit more analog, this is definitely the one. It’s as rugged as you’d expect. I’ve already taken it to a water park and beat it around quite a bit, but it still looks brand new. It’s nice having something on my wrist that I don't have to baby or worry about scratching. The only real downside is that the buttons are pretty recessed, so they can be a bit of a pain to press. You kind of have to use your fingernail to get them to click. It’s a small trade-off for the durability, but worth mentioning if you have bigger hands. Overall, if you want a bulletproof watch that’s always accurate and never needs a charge, you can’t really beat this classic.
