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
what rolling road did you use  :wink:

Guy in hillington my mate works there.
ecotune  :wink:

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.

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.

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.

Because I'm still waiting for mine to arrive lol ;(

It would be nice to see how the tuning box compares to the upcoming software for the platform from the usual vendors.

Do you have a crystal ball revealing this Tuning box is better than anything else?  :grin:

RE the limitations of extra power through FWD...

VW stock engine mounts and Control Arm Bushes won't help when remapping. In the past they have tended to be a little soft to reduce NVH (Noise,Vibration,Harshness).

Yeah that's right crystal ball. Do you think it is a Ferrari your driving? I have driven the car mate so I can quite assure you that it is not possible to put anymore power through the front wheels as it wheelspins with the torque going through the rev band in the rain
