Complete GTS tune kit?

I am wondering if there is a hardware&software bundle for GTS tune.

Is there any vendor/shop that offers this? I do not want any overheating issues at the track running the tune so am willing to upgrade/add oil cooler along with oil pan as needed.

GTS DCT tune needs to be done by the tuner. It can be done remotely, but cannot be uploaded by yourself using a cable like an engine tune.

I have had an Alpine DCT tune for years now, zero issues. But in general, I've not heard of any issues with any of the DCT tunes from reputable tuners like Alpine or BPM. Alpine one is cheap tho.

Yes, I am aware of that. I am wondering if there is a complete installation bundle(be it at a shop) that addresses hardware and software differences between non-GTS and GTS. Would like to keep it to OE standards i.e. not just looking for a software flash.

As far as I know the DCT hardware in both normal and GTS cars are identical. Only changes are in software.

Edit - Aside from a banjo filler bolt on the GTS oil pan which allows a bit more fluid to be filled.

GTS also has another or a bigger cooler.

No vendor would offer this bundle because the cost of an OE GTS cooler would be silly. Just get a do88 cooler if you’re tracking in hot temps or an aluminum pan if not.
