Title: Tuning boxes
Post by: p3asa on 08 November 2012, 14:16: Tuning boxes yes or no?

I had my Golf mapped by The Doc and it made a tremendous difference to the car. Cheers Doc.
But since I am leaving the Golf behind :cry: and going with another 2.0TDI in the form of an A1, I don't know if I could go back to not having the same power.

I don't want to have the new car mapped straight away so thought a compromise of a tuning box. Anyone any experience of these or compared them to an actual map?

Cheers.

Any statistics on them for the 2.0TDI A1 Audi?

Mine are not a box full of resistors but some companies do sell a resistor in a box for sure.

All I'll say is everyone who has had one loves them :wink:

What are they then? How do they work and how much do you charge for them?

Post by: Ess_Three on 16 November 2012, 23:33: I tried a simple resistor thingy a few years ago - more power for sure, but rough as, and lots of smoke.
I then tried a decent digital tuning box (car new, warranty considerations etc) and never felt the need to go for a re-map.
It was a great mod.

I recently fitted the now redundant tuning box to a mates A4, replacing another more simple resistor based box, and he's over the moon with it. More grunt, smoother, bigger smiles.

No doubt a proper re-map is better...but the tuning box is a decent compromise...and removable in a few mins, if required :whistle:
