Flash tune your Formentor or on the go with '034SPI' Mobile app.
034 Motorsport in partnership with VAGPARTS Australia is proud to release ECU & DSG tuning for the CUPRA Formentor VZ fitted with EA888 gen 4 2.0 TSI engine. (engine code DNPA 180 kW / 400 Nm). Stage 1, Stage 2, E85 and DQ381 Gen 2 TCU files are ready for you to flash at home with your Dynamic+ cable.
* Your CUPRA Formentor VZ features same engine and gearbox as the European MK8 GTI
034 Motorsport software engineers have been able to extract over 125 BHP from a stage 1 tune!
034 Motorsport's Dynamic+ performance tuning software will transform your driving experience! Software calibrations for the ECU & TCU safely and effectively increase the power output of the turbocharged inline-four in a refined manner. Files are flashed directly at home through your vehicle’s OBD-II port which is quick and easy!
Included for FREE is the Stage 1 Dynamic+ performance DSG tune for the DQ381 G2 7-Speed DSG transmission. 034 Motorsport’s proprietary calibrations for the DQ381 G2 TCU safely and effectively raise the torque limits of the DSG, allowing your car to make use of Stage 1 Performance Software.
034 Motorsport calibrations were developed entirely in-house on 034Motorsport's development Volkswagen Golf MK8 GTI which features the same engine with new Garrett turbo.
CUPRA Formentor VZ power figures
Stock: 241 HP / 400 Nm (factory figures) Stage 1 98: 366 HP / 580 Nm Stage 1 E85: 394 HP / 566 Nm Stage 2 98: 389 HP / 592 Nm Stage 2 E85: 407 HP / 619 Nm
NOTE:E85 calibrations are not a flex-fuel style tune. This tune requires only E85 be pumped into the fuel tank, with a full tank of E85. Gasoline blends and race fuel mixtures should not be used resulting in engine damage. We strongly recommend an ethanol content gauge be used so that you can monitor the actual ethanol content at the pump you are using. When switching to E85 drive lightly (low load) for 20 minutes to let the fuel circulate.
Why the FREE DQ381 Gen 2 DSG tune?
034 Motorsport takes a holistic approach with its Dynamic+ Tuning, and aims to retain as many OEM safety protocols as possible. 034Motorsport’s calibrators tune the ECU to work with the TCU to provide accurate torque values, and recalibrate the appropriate safety ranges for the TCU. Taking these extra steps to retain OEM safety systems on the ECU and TCU side is just one of the many reasons that Dynamic+ software provides substantial yet reliable performance increases.

FORMENTOR VZ TUNING STRATEGY
THERMAL MANAGEMENT SAFETY
With increased power, comes increased heat. With increased heat, comes the need for additional management. For charge air temperature, 034Motorsport has implemented key safety features to keep your engine running optimally and safely in virtually any condition - just like the OEM calibration. Substantial effort was spent on balancing the trade off of charge temp for power, and improving the compressor efficiency so that it doesn't generate too much charge temp.
Charge Air Temp:When the charge temp exceeds 80*C there is a reduction in power output. When the charge temp exceeds 85*C there is a more significant reduction in power output. This charge temp limitation is there to prevent knock events, which can severely damage a motor. With these safety measures in place, you can confidently drive your car, from the top of Pikes Peak to Death Valley, knowing the factory ECU has optimal performance and safety covered..
Coolant Temp/Fan Strategy:From the factory, Volkswagen likes to run hotter water temps to reduce fluid friction losses from cooler, more viscous oil. While better for efficiency, this strategy becomes a safety issue when loads and heat are increased. 034Motorsport calibrators have rescaled the coolant temperature targets and fan control strategies to target lower coolant temperatures when in higher heat conditions, allowing the car to run within a safe heat range rescaled for the added heat that comes from tuning the engine. Once again, this means that 034Motorsport calibrators have kept your confidence in safety fully intact from the OEM configuration.
FUEL SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION
While E85 provides substantial increases in power, it requires about 30% more fuel than standard pump gasoline per ignition cycle. Utilizing a variety of fuel stratified injection strategies, 034Motorsport calibrators have further optimized the factory fuelling system to be able to adequately support full E85 on factory hardware for Stage 1 & Stage 2.
START/STOP BUTTON MEMORY
Dynamic+ Tuning for the EA888.4 2.0T retains the Start/Stop engine functionality, but allows users to set the memory for the system based on preference. If you do not want the Start/Stop system to run, turn it off via the in-cabin button and the car will store that selection even after key cycling the car. If you would like it to stay on, select it to be on via the in-cabin button. This is done in a completely OEM fashion, helping enhance the overall experience of driving your car!
ENHANCED CRACKLES IN SPORT MODE
034Motorsport engineers have enhanced the crackles for maximum auditory pleasure on both Stage 1 & Stage 2! Crackles can be toggled on or off via Drive Select. They will be on in Sport and off in Comfort/Eco , giving you the ability to crackle when you want, and cruise quietly when you don't. In Individual, crackles can be toggled on or off via Engine Sound.
FREE REVVING IN NEUTRAL AND PARK
The rev-limiter is now removed while in Neutral and Park. Impress friends and annoy those around you with limitless ease!
Significant Improvements to Torque Application and AMAX Shift Strategy
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!
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 vehicle 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.
