I saw an ad appear in the top section of the Briskoda forum ealier today and clicked on it:

https://www.tuningkit.de

Anyone know anything about this type of upgrade, and its advantages/disadvantages compared with a remap from someone like Shark?

The improvements they claim seem pretty similar for only 88 quid?

I am assuming that as the ad is on this forum that the moderators approve of the product?

Can anyone shed a little light on this subject?

Cheers

Do yourself a favour and get a proper remap from a reputable tuner.

I think a shark remap is on the cards...

Just wondered why this forum would allow ads from a company offering something potentially harmful to your car.

From what I can gather all these tuning boxes do is alter the amount of fuel being injected in a pretty crude way.

The even cheaper ones just seem to fool the car into thinking it is colder than it really is.

I looked high and low on this forum for more info but found little info about these cheaper options, so thought I would start a post.

There seem to be a lot of people interested in remapping but feeling scared of messing with factory settings.

I have been over-clocking computers for years so this approach feels normal to me.

Shark it is I think :sun:

Sounds like it's just a Google AdWords advert, not a sponsor.
