DTUK / Shark Performance 2.0 220/230/300PS Tuning

[Andrew@DTUK]

Hi guys i thought id start a new thread regarding our plans for tuning the latest VAG 2.0 TFSI including the new Golf R

Our hardware is produced in Germany by DTE Systems Gmbh, and as their sole Official UK importer we (DTUK) have access to  the latest technology they have available and quite often we have systems not available to anyone else.

We have specialised in Diesel Tuning since 2005 and in that time we have sold over 15,000 kits worldwide and over the years have spent 1000's of hours developing our VAG Diesel Tuning kits. Over the last 12 months DTE have invested over £1.5 million into new production facilities including a top of the range MAHA 4WD dyno. The results they're seeing are fantastic but they're only interested in a plug in and go option, they're not interested in offering any stage 2 tunes for petrols.

Over the last 9 years i can count on one hand the number of customers who have asked about adding an exhaust or FMIC to a diesel car weVE tuned for them, where as petrol enthusiasts kind of expect this. Hence the reason we have decided to partner Shark performance on the Petrol tuning side of things. Ben at Shark reminds me so much of myself as were both passionate about what we do, abet via 2 completely different methods but bringing both of years of knowledge together seams like a natural thing.

Tuning boxes over the years have had a lot of bad press, and rightly so. Just like remaps there a good ones, and a lot more bad ones but I'm confident that we (DTUK and Shark Performance) are able offer the best warranty safe option there is on the market for the 2.0TFSI and many others.

So getting back to the boxes, we will be offering 2 options to customers.


1) The FSR system.

this will be a stage 1 tune kit and has been designed for customers who have no plans to add any hardware upgrades to their car. The full retail price on that kit is £549 nc vat. and will be available direct from DTUK or Shark Performance HQ.


2) The FSR+ system

How does this differ to the FSR? Well as i mentioned earlier as the official UK importer for DTE i do have a really good relationship with them and when i asked if they could help us create something a little different, something that would allow us to offer a system capable of being updated for stage 2 tunes and above they were prepared to listen. Several months later the FSR+ was born.


FSR on the left, and FSR+ on the right.







As I've said DTUK is the only official UK importer of DTE Systems tuning modules, so you can be assured of a tuning system of the highest quality with the backing of one of Germanys longest established tuners.


Both systems are now available to purchase, but at this time both kits are only available with Stage 1 tunes, the Stage 2 tunes will be released over the next week or so and i do believe that we will be offering packages with the relevant Milltek exhaust.

This is still work in progress so if you have any questions please ask, and ill update this thread with the all important figures as soon as i can, but i can confirm that the stage 1 tunes will be approx 280/290 and the Stage 2 should be 300+

Again i must stress that this time we have not released any official figures and that anyone who has purchased kits from DTUK before today will be entitled to any stage 1 upgrades that we release F.O.C.

additional information.

FSR+ Hybrid - Multi-Channel Petrol Tuning System

The latest addition to the DTUK® range, developed alongside Shark Performance, the FSR+ Hybrid has been developed for the very latest turbocharged premium petrol cars.

In response to the shift to even more complex tamperproof vehicle ECU’s by many German car manufacturers we have teamed up with Shark Performance to develop a solution that offers a ‘remap in a box’ that does not require physical, warranty voiding, changes to your vehicles ECU. Combining the best of both worlds – the plug & play nature of a tuning box with the in-depth monitoring and software optimisation of a high-quality remap and DTUK’s years of successful  system developments with Shark’s years of equally successful software development - the Hybrid is born.

The FSR+ Hybrid Petrol Tuning System.

The FSR+ Petrol Tuning System is an all new system that builds on our existing multimap technology from both our diesel CRD-T and petrol CRD-P systems and adds an increased level of multi-channel monitoring and control as demanded by the latest vehicle OEM ECU’s.

The FSR+ is capable of interacting with multiple channels across multiple sensors to suit each application. These can include RPM, fuel injection, boost pressure, air mass, temperature and more. By simultaneously monitoring a variety of sensors an optimised level of tune can be safely achieved.

Just like the DTUK® Diesel Tuning Systems you may already be familiar with, this system is designed to be plug and play albeit with more connections than most diesel applications due to the number of monitoring points mentioned above.

To maintain quality, safety and suitability we only use Original Equipment (OE) connectors in our systems which enables easy, quick fitting in minutes, not hours. This means that the kit can be removed just as easily when required. Once the system is removed your car reverts back to factory settings.

Often the system can be re-programmed to fit other applications if you change your current car*.

Added benefit of the FSR+ Hybrid Petrol Tuning System.

Historically, our systems have been designed specifically for standard cars. We appreciate that many petrol turbo owners will want to make future hardware upgrades to their engines. If you fall in to this category then you can take advantage of the FSR+ upgrade option where your system can be re-programmed to suit your modifications**.

 

 All FSR+ Petrol Tuning systems arrive to you carefully packed, complete with everything you will need for simple and straightforward installation. This includes full colour instructions, your petrol tuning system, the correct wiring harness including OE connectors and where applicable a blanking plug should you wish to temporarily return the car to standard trim without removing the loom.

These units come with full TüV approval and are well protected in a special heat and acid-resistant plastic exterior housing. Wiring harnesses are equipped with up to seven separate connections and are thoroughly checked, physically and electronically, several times before despatch. The sturdy 18-pin connector used to connect the system to the loom provided is specially designed for tough conditions and is used throughout the automotive sector. The adapter plugs are manufactured to OEM quality. No soldering or cutting of wires is necessary. Just connect it up and it’s done!

The FSR+ system is subject to the strict quality controls of the system manufacturer DTE Systems GmbH. This guarantees that you the customer will receive the best possible product.

*Dependent on compatibility. A replacement loom may be required as well as a software change.

**Software changes subject to development that may be chargeable and may require the vehicle being taken to DTUK®, Shark or an approved dealer thereof.

Andrew, that looks great (apart from I'm at work and can't see the pictures lol!)

Quick question though...

Say (for instance) someone bought a FSR+ system set up for stage 1 and at a later date added the TBE and wanted to upgrade to Stage 2, what would be the procedure/cost for this?

I understand we are in early days for this but that is probably the route I would end up taking (unless it's masively expensive to change the state of tune on the box)

Edit - and are the power/torque figures for the PP different from the non PP model (as these are boxes that modify the signals rather than rewrite the ECU)?

Cheers!

If the FSR+ was sold and fitted as a stage 2 tune then the cost would be £649 + the cost of the exhaust.

if the FSR+ was sold as a stage 1 tune and at a later date you added an exhaust, then there would be a charge of £100.00 plus the cost of the exhaust. We are working on some packages, so say for instance the exhaust was purchased from Shark then the upgrade cost could we waived.

so where does this unit sit and how easy is to install and remove when you want to pop along to the dealer for a spot of warranty work or a service and want to look all innocent

priced very competitively when you consider what ABT charge

The module sits inbetween the battery and air box, fitting instructions can be downloaded here:

Andy, if you want 100% innocent then you'll have to remove the loom but it's fairly discreet as is when it's in place so it depends on what the car is going in for whether or not the techies would notice it. It can be hidden reasonably well and the box can easily be removed with just a blanking plug left on the loom to keep it weather and heat protected.
The loom only takes a while to remove once you've done it the first time. The bottom front one is a bit of a pig but once that one is undone the others take just a few minutes.
The box itself could quite easily be hidden away even more than Andrew suggests with some high quality self adhesive velcro it would fit under the air box completely out of sight.
It's a nice snug fit between the air box and battery though. It won't budge a millimetre in normal driving.

Hi Andrew,

I was wondering - how does this new Shark box (the stage 1 one) compare with the DTUK box previously advertised on the forum for the GTI?

Thanks,
Greg

Looks a fairly straightforward and food for thought, remapping the R is not on the top of the mods list, it's about number 5
