Hi Guys,

first of all id like to say that we (DTUK) have based our figures on the MAHA dyno used by DTE Systems in Germany.

These figures were based using the box on default setting, and did not include any of the adjustments which increase the power higher.


DTE Systems module is Tuv approved, and after speaking to them the kit has been designed to work well within safety parameters.

Saying that, i like everyone else like talking numbers and we have lots of UK based dyno results for our Diesel kits based on software written in house.

So, if any of you guys are based in the North East of England please drop me an email on

andrew(at) dieselchip.co.uk and lets talk about having one of these kits fitted to a car on a trial basis.

No that sounds like a plan, if we can get comparable dyno read outs from these trials then we can see whats what. I was thinking about this the other day since my mistake with the numbers lol but id expect 260bhp from a mk6 tuning box, there must be more available for the mk7.

If only had ordered my GTI earlier id be up there in an ecu flash  :smiley:
2007: Leon PD170

From my own experience with over 14,000 DTE systems kits, weve always been able to optimise the software (diesel wise) as their tunes are always conservative. Im sure the same principles apply to the pETROLS, but it would be good to have some UK dyno figures to see where exactly where we stand

Hi Andrew,

Interesting that the box can be altered for performance. Is this easy to adjust? Can you offer any estimate of BHP/Torque on an Mk7 GTI at the highest safe setting?

I live in Carlisle and frequent Newcastle every fortnight or so on business. I would be willing to trial the box if we can arrange a suitable time.

Hi, ill be honest i dont have a clue until we actually physically see a car. At present were being compared to a set of figures without any dynographs to back them up.

Ill be speaking to DTE tomorrow as im sure there is a reason for the lower published figures from ourselves/them,

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

Good standard power John ! Very Impressive gains with the box though. Can't wait to take delivery of my car and add a box !

Yes mate it is rapid fast, it is at the limits of safety in the wet. Been out tonight in the pissing rain and it is as fast as you could put through the front wheels. But fantastic

Sounds good, realistic as well. Are you going to post some Dyno charts?
