Hi all

I'm looking at a stage 1 remap of my standard 2012 TDI vrs Octavia.

Local tuning centre offering a remap (ECU out job apparently) by a company called "Alien Tech" are these any good?

All for £275.00 inc vat reckons about 210/215bhp with some extra torque, forgot what he said.

I always hear people shouting shark but do not think they are down here, open to sensible advice on which way to go etc.

Regards

I think you have Badger5 down your way that come well recommended. Can't speak about Alien Tech, not had any dealings with them I'm afraid.

DTUK are claiming 225bhp from their CRDT2 tuning box.

I don't think that's right, but they have a rolling road plot to back it up and you have DSR on your side if you don't like it.

Are you sure the remap is AlienTech as that is also the name of a big Italian tuning hardware manufacturer? They make the stuff you use to put a remap on a car.

Will you get a rolling road run before and after?

And I think that CMDtec, the tuning hardware company used by Shark etc, have now cracked the ECU used in most current VAG cars, so it might not need to be an ECU out job after all.

It is a local tuning company and they said the remap is made by Alien Tech, they make the programme etc from what I understand.

I asked him about the rolling road would he do a run befotre and after and he said "NO" it is a waste of time because they cannot switch off my traction control fully. Apparently they only rolling road cars they can totally switch off traction control?

Not sure if that is true or just a get out.

He said it was definetky ECU out and in all about 3 or 4 hours.

Alien tech is the software used to remap the ecu. Its suposed to b really gd!
