RaceTune Chip

[Saeed J Ghnaim]

Hello everyone, I was looking at remapping the ECU in my 1.8T (120hp) A4. I saw only different chips. However, I cant get most of them in my country. I found one called RaceTune that will give about 20-35hp extra and some torque. Has anyone tried this chip? also would remapping affect the life of the engine/transmission?

Also, some people online say that the 1.8T engine is factory detune from the 160hp version. does this have any truth to it? if so, how can I reverse this detune?

Not heard of the one you mention. You could try asking @ABYSS from DTUK if they can help?

Im from Jordan.. all the way in the middle east. due to customs and high taxes it would be super expensive to import it. plus I have no experience in installing this stuff myself. I have found another option which is Viezu Tune.. have you heard of it?

Thank mate, I'll check it out. Have you heard of the 120hp engines? are they actually a de-tune from the 160hp?
