How do you find the difference with the race chip? I've been looking at the rs piggy back or getting a remap with a dyno run from my local tuner who runs viezu remap? They quote very similar gains it's the torque I'm more interested in Supposedly boost psi goes to 19 peak opposed to 11 so I'm expecting a good kick ! The piggy back is 199 and the viezu map is discounted to 179 just the cost of the dyno on top
I found a lot of difference, especially the torque at the low end! And i just went with the s version, because i think to push a little harder, a good remap will always be better for the car! But for 120€, it was a no brainer! Cheers
Ahh i see well its to late for me now lol but fingers crossed mines been ok....for now
Honestly mate id leave it to the mapping company aslong as your using someone good there do all the checks they need to and advise you on what needs doing before the mapping begins.
Yeah I'm booked in at viezu in bidford has a 4wd dyno and what not hopfully that will sort it.... the perk is I can at least ask one of the techs at work to take a look... perk of working at a main dealer
I'm hoping so.... im gonna ask one of the techs to log requested vs actual to see what's going on but the cheap obd reader shows peak of 8psi should be 0.9bar on the 220
Iv opted for TDI TUNING BOX. And after the installation box run for a dyno test! And this is what I gained!
Thats why i wouldn't bother with boxes not a particularly big increase in nm or bhp really and a very up and down power curve, save money and get a custom map, mpg probably be better as well.
Yes you right isn't much out of it , but you can play with it from eco mode, to performance mode,you have 7 steps so you can use how you want from your phone through bluetooth connections ,or just turned off and leave it as just the car itself. And if you do change your car,you send the old one to them and they'll send another one for your new engine ,free of charge!
Ahh nice that they actually give you a new one for free thats mad! I guess if you change cars often or not plan on keeping it a lengthy time but want something a with a bit more power than stock from car to car it will work out a hell of a lot cheaper than getting a custom map every time, swings and roundabouts then i guess
Yes that's right, and even when is a brand new car, so you can't lose warranty on the car you choose the boxthey are untraceable! Have a look at them site.

Its not my kind of thing really i prefer a good old custom map and my car definitely hasnt got the warranty to worry about being 14 years old now lol, plus i don't plan on selling the car shes like my side chick shes battling for top spot against the mrs.
Neither me on my second (girlfriend)but I was just try to explain what so got on this box and what you have on straight custom map. What engine is your? I have a 2.0TFSI SE quattro BUL engine! Have from about 5 year's this car.
Yeah i get where your coming from with the boxes, yeah same engine as mine but i opted for 2wd instead of the quattro
If mine was standard and a tune was my first port of call, a box isn't a terrible option.
I hear you but most stage 1’s get 100nm peak torque so you cant really compare the two but if it’s something you just want a little extra power and more cost effective by allowing you to transfer to other cars for free then go for it.Just turned down the opportunity to buy one of these boxes at half price, purely because I think I'll get a bit more from a custom map with my existing mods. the 50nm+ gain above isn't to be sniffed at
