Just had my car checked today, without the tmc tuning box and standard form it is kicking out 239bhp and 292bhp with tuning box. And regarding adjusting the box, you can adjust it but it adds no power whatsoever it just changes the torque range

Sounds good, realistic as well. Are you going to post some Dyno charts?
My mate just gave me the results and that's what it came out at. Never been than fussed about dyno charts. I knew it was kicking out that anyway with the way it drives, given the ed30 and 35 remapped. It is as good as them both and you can really tell a big difference in the wet. It would not be possible to put anymore power through the front wheels.

Any idea what the torque was mate ?

Is it still a nice smooth power delivery or a case of a huge wallop of torque which makes it feel faster??

Yes torque was 443nm. Yes it is still very smooth, but if you want to go fast then yes there is a lot of torque.

Forgive me John, im not one to doubt you again in the same thread lol but what do you mean 'just gave me the results'?

Would've been good to see a dyno, rather see a progressive delivery especially as were fwd than just top pub talk figures. I am not in anyway suggesting that TMC arent progressive, but we'd be able to see with a dyno plot.

Also, with these boxes, what if you have a full TBE and CAI and uprated FMIC, can you adjust them to put more power through? im not talking massive, im sure the IHI can only go to 300bhp but it can be delivered in a stronger way with the right bolt-ons.

also, found another box http://fr-rtuning-shop.co.uk/index.php?_a=product&product_id=3911
But its even more depressing that the 'current' DTUK figures.

Sorry that's the best I have mate, personally in my opinion I know what the car is doing and I don't need graphs and I am not going to pay a garage for it when I can tell by the way it drives. Sorry but you get a 30 day money back guarantee so why don't you buy it and try for yourself. If you can't tell there is a massive difference without figures then I would be amazed.

There is no box on the market or remap that will be noticeably better. And regarding torque that is going to be a major difference anway as it is up 70nm on the mk6 before the remap.
