Im sorry buy boxes aren't universal, well ours aren't. I would love to see you use a 2.0VAG system on a 2.0 BMW intact a 3.0 VAG..

We got this landing with us tomorrow.. It will be running 355bhp within the next week or so, and we have a 390/400 bhp S3 currently in development running our FSR+ tuning system, Forge Fmic and an exhaust This is landing too, but as it's surplus to requirements is heading off to its new owner on Saturday :(

We have an s3 sport back landing this week, in comparison to the octavia the a3 is tiny inside. Even our 8 year old commented on the lack of space in the sportback

Some feedback from golfgtiforum.co.uk that maybe of interest to some of you OK, here it is, done about 40 miles in it since fitment, this is the dual channel CRDT-2 box (rated 235PS) Firstly, my car has been running a bit sh!tty in the 50 miles pre-box. Smack in the middle of a spell of DPF regenning, last night I had to give my cousin a jump-start when he flattened his battery in Newcastle City Centre last night and called me up, in prime pub-kicking out time. Spent 20 mins crawling around the 1/2 mile of road surrounding the Central train station, which made things worse and then 10 mins of 2000 rpm idling while he tried to get his sh!tty Citroen people carrier to splutter into life. After a short spell at the Metrocentre this morning, I headed out to DTUK when Andrew confirmed he could meet me (and save me waiting for the postie on Tuesday). After getting there, Andrew fitted the box off his Skoda onto mine to see how it runs (set at 4+1, Andrews recommended top setting). The industrial estate consists of a 3/4 mile long road, and it was empty, so I did a quick spurt to 80mph and back down to sensible levels. Huge difference. Did same on the way back. Andrew then put the software onto the new box and fitted it to my car. Repeated the blast along the industrial estate, my box seemed a tiny bit better, or maybe I was just more confident in it's use. Came back, then had a chat with Andrew about TDIs we've had in the past etc (for about an hour!!!) Firstly, I would say that I prefer this box to the TDI-tuning box I trialled - they are 2 very different animals. The TDI-tuning box is raw and savage, some people might prefer that, but for me a sudden surge of power that causes wheelspin at 60mph in 3rd when you put your foot down is a bit of a widow-maker. At times with that box on setting 7, I felt I could quite easily James Dean the car. The CRDT-2 has a much smoother and linear development of power - as smooth as the GTD's stock power range, but just more of it. Unlike my experiences with the TDI-tuning box, the idling was as smooth as stock - I experienced lumpy idling with the TDI-tuning box, but Buddy hadn't noticed on his. When we took my dad's TDI-tuning box off his MK5 GT 170 to trade in for his DSG GTD, his idling became smoother. The car ran at the hot end of the spectrum for the 40 miles (24 miles home and 16 miles going to pick the missus up from work) I drove around on after fitting the box (minimum 95C, but staying at 102C for a good 10 mins, and then being happy to be sat around 97-98C for most of the time). I wasn't sure whether the running hot was down to me booting it a bit, or whether it was a continuation of the DPF regen that had been going on. I do think my stock GTD was running on the cold side, as if this was the main cause of my slightly poor mpg and frequent DPF regen. A few days will tell if the boxed GTD has a preference for running at 95-97C, as my Scirocco did, if so, I might see my mpg and regen interval improve on that score alone. The car feels complete now, like it was meant to be. At stock i'm feeling it is no faster than my Scirocco 170TDI. Got onto the A19 at Killingworth, up a long and steep sliproad from the road below. Me and a Civic Type R got on the 2 lane sliproad at the same time and I annihilated the R. It was trying very hard, but not even close. Those things have no torque so maybe a standard GTD would outdo them up a hill (just). Got home and 90 mins later I went to pick up the missus from work (overtime). On my rolling start run onto the coast road, for which I have measured previous cars performance against by the speed at which I pass a sign, I managed 88mph (it was quiet and I took it straight back down to 75 ), compared to 81mph average on my GTD and 83mph average on my Scirocco. The other thing that seems to have improved my drive is pull away from a standstill. The worst thing about the auto handbrake is that I always pull away ultra cautiously until after the autohold has fully let go - it feels like if you give it some for a quick getaway then you'll stall (it probably won't but it feels that way). My car doesn't feel like that any more, the car feels like it'll easily overcome the bite of the autohold for a better getaway. You've got to have a bit of restraint in 2nd - seems the easiest point of an acceleration move to wheelspin if you're not careful. Over the moon with the box, and on the assumption that I won't get any more regens than I get already (time will tell), i'll have no regrets at all. I reset my MFD "since start" mpg reading when I left DTUK. It had been an abysmal 41mpg due to all the regenning which followed the previous night's events. By the time I got home (24 miles later), it was up to 55mpg. I suspect that like the TDI-tuning.co.uk box, the indicated mpg will be somewhere in the region of 15% optimistic at the higher settings, making an actual 47mpg far more likely (about what I would have expected from stock with as much hooning around as I did from a hot start). I will keep you updated with actual mpg/regen info. In fact I might top the car back up tomorrow just so we can see a "whole tank" mpg that isn't biased by the sh!tty run I had between filling up and fitting the box.

well if you fancy a drive over at some point let me know, the kettles always on and wed certainly look after you price wise on the kit too.

The guys in Germany (DTE Systems) do produce a box for the 1.4TSI and the kit was developed on an Audi A1, I'm trying to see if they can supply any dyno data to back up the claims of 206PS and 290nm of torque. Are any of you guys local to us? (DH9 - Durham)

yes mate i did, Im not 100% sure as i just told them what i wanted and they sorted it for me

Eibach, revolution247.com Give them a call and ask for Keith Tyler

After 450 miles

I'll post photos next week as I'm away for the weekend, but I've posted some on our Facebook page if anyone wants a nose Facebook.com/dieseltuninguk

Its an estate Its the first car I've modded for a while and i can't wait to see it

the vRS is currently down at Revolution in Gateshead having a set of Eibach springs and spacers fitted Il post photos later today once I've been to collect it

Glad youre happy with it Steve, they certainly do make a massive difference to the drivability of the car.

we offer a plug and play tuning kit, more info below We are now able to offer a plug and play warranty safe tuning option for the Audi, Seat, Skoda, VW 1.8TSI 180PS At this point ill let the graphs do the talking Stock 1.8 TFSI Audi a3 195 ps and 269 nm (manufacturers claimed power 180 PS and 250 nm) Tuned 1.8 TFSI Audi A3 235.9 ps and 323.8nm (manufacturers claimed power 180 PS and 250 nm) :p http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=394239

The £80 comes off the full rrp So CRDT is £439 -£80 so £359 plus £6.95 shipping The crd2+ (common rail only) is £389 -£80 so £309 plus £6.95 shipping All of the power figures/graphs relate to the CRDT

Im not saying a word as even Brimma's been nice recently too lol

Its great to see that my threads always create a bit of a stir on here

If you drop me an email Serge i have a small video showing how to "twiddle" the board out of the box I set the box on map 2 plus 1, but my advice as it is to everyone is to try all 4 maps on zero/ plus1 and maybe 2 or until you see any kind of management light

Check out the current contract hire deals on the 330/335d x drive as you'll be quite surprised as the costs

Hi ssfan, As with any form of tuning you are going to place certain components under greater stresses, but most tuners take advantage of the tolerances the manufacturers leave behind .. So as long as the car is looked after you shouldn't have any more issues than you would of done in it's standard tune.

The peak torque was 327.8/9lbft .. We did run another file which produced 194.1bhp at 3396 against the 196.1 at 3491. The 2nd file also produced 327.8lbft but at 1884rpm against 2015rpm produced by the file used in the graph above

Give me a call before you call them

Be careful you'll get accused of trying to bribe me lol
