UK FIRST! FORD FOCUS RS MK1 β TVS DQ250 DSG CONVERSION!βοΈπ₯
A very special project recently arrived at PERON HQ, belonging to our good Scottish customer Jack, who competes in the Super Lap Scotland Time Attack Championship in his Ford Focus RS Mk1! π
This UK-first setup combines a TVS Engineering-supplied DQ250 DSG gearbox with MQB mechatronics, working alongside Syvecs engine management in a car never designed to run a DSG transmission
π§ππ πππππππ‘ππ π§
When Jack brought the car down to PERON, the gearbox was struggling to operate correctly, either refusing to engage gears or being unable to shift beyond second.
Getting a conversion like this working isn't simply a case of plugging in a laptop and uploading software. It requires an understanding of the gearbox, mechatronics, vehicle electronics and communication between the engine and transmission.

Working closely with TVS Engineering and Jack himself, our PERON engineers tackled the issues step by step:
β
Verified the gearbox wiring and electrical connections
β
Reviewed the Syvecs ECU configuration and communication
β
Worked directly with TVS Engineering to identify calibration issues
β
Developed and installed revised TVS DSG software
β
Successfully completed the required gearbox adaptation procedures
β
Restored gear selection and functional upshifts and downshifts
π§ππ π₯ππ¦π¨ππ§ π
From a car that couldn't drive properly to a functioning DSG conversion, selecting gears and shifting as intended! A huge milestone for Jack and his Focus RS, with the next stage being on-track testing and further calibration refinement ahead of the upcoming Super Lap Scotland season.
Projects like this demonstrate that TVS Engineering offers far more than conventional DSG remapping. With the right hardware, software and technical expertise, we can help bring complex transmission conversions to life.
PERON Automotive works directly with TVS to support everything from everyday DSG upgrades through to bespoke motorsport applications.
