Hi guys im a new poster here this only being my second so forgive me if this has been brought to the table before.

I recently purchased one of these TDI Tuning packs, and WHAT GREAT value for money they are.....

as i work in a garage myself i have the opportunity to use the diagnostic equipment and rolling runners. fitting the box has given me 36bhp extra and pushed the torque up by 80lb/ft theres power all the way through the rev range, even right upto the redline, the turbo picks up very early in the revs and just carries all the way through. I think their phenominal value for money, took me 3-4mins to fit requires no cutting of wires, can be easily removed and is small and discreet (sorry to sound like a salesman but i think this is probably the best EVER purchase for my car)

has anyone else purchased one of these, and what did you think?

Which one have you got, care to post a link or describe how it works?.

Do you sell them perchance

OR is he talking about the legendary resistor mod...

I had a TDI Tuning pack from my wife's aunt's Passat TDI140. It was the Diesel Performance Tuning one and it did indeed take minutes to fit. It also took minutes to clog the DPF which it didn't know anything about because Tuning Packs only have a one-way conversation with the car. It overfuelled the engine, but it couldn't clean up the exhaust because it couldn't adjust the turbo. So it was soot city, which is disaster for the DPF. A proper remap would have been able to vary the turbo and so clean up the exhaust, so it wouldn't have left her with a big bill.

I didn't understand this until I spoke to Ben (Shark_90) and that's why I'd only get a proper remap, from a proper remapper, now. Whoever sells you a tuning kit, whatever that kit is, should have insurance to cover you against anything going wrong. I know that Shark have it, JabbaSport has it, P-Torque and all the other reputable tuners all have it. Some kit from ebay almost certainly won't and the bills, should anything go wrong, can be enormous.

Just for the record, I am a satisfied Shark Performance customer (I use Ben Wardle for retrofit work), but I do not have any of my cars remapped.

Well the cheap one is a resistor in a box, as the expensive one costs more than a reputable remap, so I can't understand why anyone would buy one.

403 lb/ft

403 lb/ft

do you have one fitted is your engine stock to acheive 403lb's? does it really improve economy on long runs as i do alot of motorway driving? :wonder:

Imagine how fast you'd go with a resistor mod, digital tuning box AND a remap all at the same time!!!!!!!!!!
