VAG TDI remapping

I bet it doesn't have the some of freedom that you get with train travel though. Can you fall asleep whilst travelling at over 100mph and still arrive at your destination safely? Or read a book the whole way?

lol

I can guarantee I can get a seat though, and it tends to get there on time more often... ric

That's cool, what's it done to your insurance, out of interest?

Doubt it, not from a 130 PD anyhow.

Tim..

Hmmmmm.

Utter bollocks, I'm afraid.

Did they give you a 'before' and 'after' print? - I'd be interested to see the comparison.

Their wheel to crank calculation looks wildly optimistic, too.

The answer to those questions is:

"Just like a train, yes, unless you are the driver."

I was at Jabba on Friday having one of there ARBs fitted. Was the dodge outside?

Most chipped 130s are in the 170-180 range, the 160s will just hit 200 ish.

ah the joys of modern tdi tuning upsets Steve again :)

very nice

my Tdi 110 puts out a nadgers over 140 bhp with remap only, bit more boost a free flow exhaust and a new intercooler should see that into the high

look, you monkey: it's on the bloody dynoplot linked to above FFS.

christ, you can't keep some armchair pundits happy, can you, even with a callibrated printout from the most reputable VAG tuners there are. still, easy to doubt over the internet, isn't it.

didn't see a dodge: some tasty a3s, couple of fabias and the loopy jabba

see dyno plot. you may doubt, i've seen it on the rollers, driven it on the roads and have got it on the printout

good, innit! it's like cheating: in the old days my mk2 golf valver took 800 quid or so in tuning (full stainless system, induction, etc) to give a mighty 10-12bhp gain....

Which line is before and which line is after, then?

How much do they reckon you're losing between the crank and the wheels?

It's obviously bollocks on so many levels, but if it makes you happy, they've done what you paid them to do.

A dyno isn't guaranteed to be accurate, in fact, you could say that it was in their interests for it to be more than slightly optimistic.

Unless you have a printout from the car before the work was done, and know they hadn't played about with the dyno between runs, the quoted power isn't worth the paper it's written on......

You may want to read a few 'tuning' magazines - quite often someone turns up claiming '150 bhp at the wheels, mate', whilst waving a dyno print, only to find that, on an independent test, the power is several tens of bhp down on the figure from the 'tuners'.

I'd rather see that on a different dyno,

Too many companies are quite happy to have their rollers over read. especially when their main buisiness is chip tuning.

makes them look so much better when you get that 50/60 bhp gain

our remap gave a stonking 31 bhp increase which is believable as i have seen before and afters.

A little after lunchtime, in my Ibiza FR 130TDi. They do go well. ;)
