Title: TDI-Tuning Box
Post by: Hoggy on 25 July 2012, 18:49

Now I know everyone will go on about just get it remapped and why both but I got a Tdi-tuning box second hand and now I'm going to get round to fitting to my GT TDI 150. Question is..how/where? :| haha

It has the two plugs on it, one male one female, but where do theae plug on to? My guess is the fuel temperature sensor?

Any help is greatly appreciated, and yes I know a remap is better but I just wanted to test one out.

Cheers, Hoggy.

There is one on ukmkivs going for £50 I think  :rolleyes:

I think I know which plugs they go on, but couldn't even begin to descibe where bouts they are. It should all come with nice shiny instructions, if you can't find it perhaps go on the website and find a copy!  :smiley:

When you buy second hand you dibt always get instructions :(

As for MAF it wont plug into there..maybe MAP sensor?  :undecided:

Pretty sure it has nothing to do with the MAF or MAP. Which box have you bought? I found instructions on one the other day and I didn't even mean to...

What brand is it? How many plugs? How many pins on each plug? Just try all of them in your engine bay!? :laugh:

The front passenger side under the engine cover. 
Hope this helps.

On the front left hand side of the engine?

Fuel temp sensor?
