Operating from an advanced facility equipped with a Dynojet 424x dyno cell, CNC machining, tool manufacturing, robotic welding, and more, PERON Tuning performs each stage of development in-house. This vertical integration ensures we maintain control over every aspect of the tuning process, from initial design to final testing, allowing us to meet the highest standards of quality and precision. Every PERON Tuning product is meticulously tested on the dyno and validated in real-world conditions, ensuring reliability, performance, and an enhanced driving experience.

To complement the extensive work we carry out in-house, PERON Tuning partners with the global best in select disciplines. Our collaborations with industry leaders such as TVS Engineering, Precision Turbo & Engine, Garrett Motion, Turbosmart, Dyno Spectrum, DEKA, and others allow us to integrate world-class components and technologies into our solutions. These partnerships combine our deep in-house knowledge with the latest advancements in performance engineering, ensuring that PERON Tuning clients benefit from products that set new benchmarks for quality, innovation, and reliability.

PERON Automotive is proud to be the exclusive UK and Ireland distributor and technical partner for TVS Engineering, the global authority on DSG gearbox technology and tuning. Our partnership with TVS brings unmatched expertise to our customers, with a focus on Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG) applications. This synergy allows us to offer specialised DSG tuning solutions that are designed to refine driveability, increase gearbox durability, and unleash performance.

TVS Engineering has been at the forefront of DSG innovation for over 20 years, and their software and hardware solutions provide transformative upgrades for dual-clutch transmissions. By combining PERON’s in-house expertise with TVS’s proven TCU calibrations, we deliver a comprehensive lineup of DSG tuning options, from Driveability Upgrades to powerful Stage 4 Race Tunes. Our offerings provide everything from smoother shifts and enhanced clutch cooling to increased torque capacity and precision launch control, all carefully calibrated to preserve gearbox reliability.

Our customers can choose from several stages, each tailored to different performance needs. The Driveability Upgrade focuses on smooth, refined shifts, with unique shifting strategies, optimised cruise control, and enhanced thermomanagement that extends gearbox life. For those seeking greater power, Stage 2+ adds torque limiters and improves upshifting and downshifting speed, offering a more dynamic response. Stages 3 and 4 cater to high-performance applications, with advanced features like race clutch calibration, increased clutch pressure, and customisable launch control that provide full power through every shift. Each stage retains the smooth, factory-like driveability that VAG owners expect, with the added performance to meet high demands.

By choosing PERON Automotive’s TVS Engineering DSG upgrades, customers gain access to a tuning solution backed by world-leading expertise, rigorous testing, and finely-tuned options for every driving style—from daily driving comfort to competitive racing precision.

PERON Tuning partners with the global best in select disciplines, incorporating each partner’s specialised expertise seamlessly into our tuning solutions and packages. These partnerships are more than supplier relationships; they’re true collaborations with industry leaders like TVS Engineering, Precision Turbo & Engine, Garrett Motion, Turbosmart, Dyno Spectrum, DEKA, ItalianRP, Syvecs, and Ecutek. By working closely together, we support and elevate each other’s innovations, advancing our shared commitment to excellence in performance engineering.

This collaborative approach allows us to integrate specialised components and cutting-edge calibration technologies from fields like turbocharging, transmission tuning, and engine control with our own in-house expertise. Through this synergy, PERON Tuning delivers solutions that set a new benchmark in quality, innovation, and reliability, ensuring that each tuning package benefits from the strengths of our global partners while upholding the high standards we set in our own R&D.

At PERON Tuning, our philosophy is rooted in achieving significant performance gains while preserving the driveability and reliability that make a vehicle enjoyable in real-world conditions. We aim to transform each vehicle into what it could have been from the factory, delivering refined performance enhancements that feel both natural and exhilarating. By ensuring every increase in power and torque is delivered smoothly, our tuning solutions balance thrilling performance with ease of daily driving.

Our tuning process is methodical, incorporating only meaningful hardware upgrades rather than overhauling every component. Every change, from hardware selection to ignition timing adjustments, is made with a clear purpose and validated through rigorous testing. Our engineers approach each new development with a clean slate, allowing us to fully understand and optimise specific engine behaviours to perfection. This thoughtful approach enables us to deliver smooth power distribution, refined throttle response, and enhanced torque control, all without compromising on reliability.

In our world-class facility, we use advanced tools like SolidWorks for component design and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis to predict and refine performance. With the Dynojet 424x dyno cell, we fine-tune each calibration and component upgrade, optimising the entire setup for both track-level precision and daily usability. The result is a tuning solution that is powerful yet controlled, whether for enthusiasts pushing boundaries or drivers seeking enhanced responsiveness and performance in their everyday drive.

At PERON Tuning, every product undergoes a rigorous performance validation process to ensure it delivers reliable, consistent results under all conditions. Our testing begins in-house on our Dynojet 424x dyno cell, where each tuning solution is carefully calibrated and fine-tuned to optimise power delivery, throttle response, and torque distribution. This dyno testing phase allows us to gather precise data on performance metrics, ensuring each product is prepared for the next stage.

Following dyno testing, our tuning solutions are validated through extensive road and track use. We believe that real-world testing is essential to delivering a product that performs not only on paper but also in practice. At PERON, we, along with our clients, are avid motorsport enthusiasts, and we view motorsport as the ultimate proving ground for our work. Testing on the track challenges our products under the most demanding conditions, ensuring they can handle high performance while maintaining reliability and durability.

By blending advanced in-house testing with real-world validation, PERON Tuning ensures that every product not only enhances performance but also delivers a driving experience that is refined, dependable, and exhilarating, whether on the road or the track.
