Shark group buy

[Nicky boy]

After reading a topic posted earlier it has become apparent that people are interested in a shark group buy and Ben from shark has said that it is possible to get a group discount if we get either 15+ (50% off STS unit) or 30+ people (100% off STS unit). Please correct me if this is wrong however.

I have started this poll to try and get an idea of numbers interested.

Il be first. YES

There's no way to remap that ECU over the diagnostic port and so the STS capability is still a long way away gents, sorry.

Could I ask why the STS is such a crucial item for those who won't have the map without it?

Which are you referring to? TSi or CR?

I have the 2011 TSi, is that ok to program via diagnostic port?

Just want the flexibility to put back to standard when required, and when I sell.

[shark_90]

I'm mainly referring to the CR owners who have mentioned the STS as an absolute must-have, so I was referring to the CR ECU rather than the 2.0TSI.

In your post earlier you mentioned the discount for the STS unit hence why everyone is wanting it I guess. If the group buy would give discount on just the map for those people unable to use or dont want the STS box then perhaps the outcome may differ??

This is just me speculating though.

I know id love one for the ability to change back and keep the box for my next car etc but I think its the daunting thought of having the ECU physically removed and people still under warranty like me being nervous of this. I posted a thread on this earlier today btw having called SUK to see if taking it out and messing with it voids warranty instantly on ECU itself for breaking seals or anything and they say no!

Ben I think if the next CR you do you took some pics to show the process it might put people more at ease or even a short vid on it. Id love to get mine done at yours but im not local enough :( going to the place that did my Fabia VRS a few years ago and were great have a GIANT discount as a returning customer too (Northern Ireland company)

My main problem is the distance you are from me.

rockhopper did just that when he had his CR140 yeti done by Ben

As I started the previous question.....I'm in!

I would rather not have the STS so I would really appreciate a discount on the map itself.

[dan yeates]

I'm a long way away so I'd be up for the STS on my PD VRS.

[Lyonzo]

Anyone in NI fancy organising a group buy and paying for Bens flights so I can get a maxidot installed!?

So if we were to change the group buy slightly and offer a discount to the same amount as the STS for those who don't want/need one, would that help?

[shark_90]

I understand and that is of course where the STS really wins. Perhaps if we were to offer the same level of discount as taking a free STS would help that situation for people - it would certainly pay your fuel bill

[Nicky boy]

I think yes to your post above Ben. Perhaps if you could lay out an offer for people not wanting the box then this would be good.

Perhaps if we get 30 people and 15 want and 15 don't want then there can be a deal to accommodate all?

Cheers

While your about Ben does the 170CR need DPF delete like the PD did or is it ok to leave alone?

[Guest Tim31]

The reason for the sts for me is if it goes into skoda and they update the ecu I have to drive back to shark and go through the process again. I would suspect Ben to do the map again for nothing

[shark_90]

Nowhere near as many problematic CR engined cars than PD, so generally you're OK to leave it (so long as the map is carefully tuned and not smoky).
