hi folks I have a non Pd 1.9 TDi,
I have seen lots of these chips about and wondered if they are any good or just a resistor on the MAF.
Its for a 1998 car so its not worth spending £300+ for a real ecu remap.
Please tell me what you think and if thet give any gains at all.
cheers
I have just ordered a tuning box pretty much like the one in the picture above, which will boost my bhp up by 38bhp and around 70nm of torque, I have read a few threads about tdi tuning boxes and most people say that they are a waste of time and can harm your engine, but the one I have ordered has been highly recommended by a very good friend of mine who is a head mechanic at a garage in devon, they specialise in VAG group cars, audi, voltswagan, seat, skoda, he has 25 years experience, so he knows what he is talking about, he has one fitted on his passat estate 100bhp pd, he raced his work buddy who has a golf 130bhp pd and beat him, his mate now has one fitted, infact all the mechanics with the diesel pd engines have one fitted, my friend has had it on his car for 2 years, his engine has done 180,000 miles and he has had no problems what so ever, another guy he knows has had it on his engine for 4 years and he has had trouble free motoring too, the one I have ordered is specifically for the PD engine, they are made in Germany and they have the genuine vag plugs already fitted on the box, so you just plug and play, he has never heard of anyone that has had problems with there engines or anything else with this particular tuning box, I know it sounds too good to be true, but if they were that bad, then surely these guys wouldn't have them fitted on there own cars, and after all, they know what there talking about, has anyone heard of one of these box's causing damage to a PD engine????? If so I would love to know!!
