Would that method work on my 1.8t or is it a bit risky?

Holy sh!t Nick, that's awesome.

Chris, leave the mad scientist at work for a bit longer..if it doesn't go bang, we'll follow suit

A time consuming way but sexy results, how much more was you able to squeeze out without the knock sensors present by going by listening for detonation?

Will customers get an option to tune this way, also do you offer more aggressive maps for track cars

Maybe track and spring cars,  I would need to set a map up like this in the summer and the winter to get the AIT realated correction maps correct and safe for all conditions.   I have alway wondered about how good the oe Bosch IKC mapping was in terms of performance, withit of its night and day.

And its another reason AUM feel very quick first thing in the morning from cold for a few mins, the knock contol is switched of below 50deg engine coolant temp.

Guess its too early to know how a AGU would treat it with this setup.  Do you keep the OE sesnors unplugged then as surely bolting the sensor back on after mapping without will put you back at stage 1?

would love one of these maps on my mk4,  would not care if it blew up lol

Can't see why an AGU can't have the same done, all you're doing is listening very closely to the engine before detonation occurs while tuning away on the RR, I'm sure the AGU has knock sensors as well from memory, just a case of telling the ECU to ignore them.

Wish I had a rolling road  would love to get more into tuning.

Also Nick, I found this engine, specs seem quite good, think there's room for improvement:
Length: 89 feet
Height: 44 feet
Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm
Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm


I know it's more suited to a mk3, but I'm sure it will fit!


Hoping the gearbox will last

Its all about time and playing, as long as you understand the basics of the otto engine and what effects fuel, timing and boost make then tuning is easy.  I have been doing it since 15 years old and I am still learning new stuff.

I will look into the AGU knock control, I have got my wife an Mk4 AGU as her second third car to run around it, I will be doing the same setup for this ready for next summer.

Damn! I just edited my post, hopefully I'll get a second opinion

Nick, how busy are you in the next couple weeks, potentially on a saturday 12pm or 3pm slot!
