how much are the TMC tuning boxes, because I thought TMC were a diesel tuner, cant find the 1.4 TSI box on their web page, maybe Im being blind.... :S

I wonder what the difference in power is with the TMC box compared to standard, and a shark remap for that matter.

Going to get it on the RR and try to compare it to the Shark & Revo Stage 1

A lot of people were surprised with the times I was getting, had a few people chatting to me saying they now wanted one

Got 6.98secs in the Octy and thats a diesel!

You are in Driver Mag with me

Thanks mate, not sure what the x's are for though :wonder:

Wow! Are you sure nobody has tuned your car?? I mean these times for the 0-60 are way too good compared to the official 7.3" announced from official skoda. Do they intentionally want to keep a low-profile (but why do that?) or the measurements at the track are somewhat "generous" ?

I was told from a vRS owner that he had beaten an Ibiza Cupra in a drag race and I was listening in quite a disbelief, as the official cupra time for the 0-62 is 1-2 tenths of a second less than the vRS.

But anyway, 6.58??? That is really fast for a stock vRS (again based on official documentation), I 'd like to hear about that...

Look at the figures for my Octy - manufacturer 8.1 secs and i got 6.98. They do their readings fully laden and a full tank of fuel. I also doubt that they use Launch control. They have always had 'low profile' figures throughout the VAG group for years

Lol 100% not tuned apart from a Revo filter but doubt that would even make a difference. Now it has the TMC box on it feels like a completely different animal.

If you check up you'll see the video of me beating a stage 2 Seat Ibiza Boc, he did have a fault pop up but still managed to just pip him. I believe he was running 30BHP more than me.

Well... What can I say, it sounds fantastic. I wonder what times you'll be achieving with the TMC box installed, please keep us posted!

In jasons defence, his cupras best time of the day was 5.5 seconds 0-60 and 14.2 1/4 mile so for him to achieve less than 15 is pretty poor in good conditions. My slowest time of the day before in the rain was 6.72 and 15.161. Suffered huge traction issues that day though. 1st gear was all but written off for me.

Im aiming for 13.5. Ill be over the moon if i manage that

A tuned Cupra I take it, otherwise there would be something wrong with the stopwatches!!

Oh no doubt Jason ran faster, I got lucky to be honest
