OK As per previous post I have now had the above fitted to my 190ps TSI R-Line. This box of tricks claim to up the power to 240+ ps and improve torque to 400nM from 350nM.
On fitting there is one slightly awkward connection which you need to access from underneath the front of the engine for the turbo boost, otherwise it's a simple few minute fit. I opted for the bluetooth controlled unit which you can change settings on the fly via an Android or Apple OS Smartphone. However to use the app you need android version 7 upwards for an Andriod smartphone/tablet, which unfortunately I do not have at present.
lain:
The box comprise of three preset programs and each program has from -3 to +3 (7) settings to suit your driving. I have to as yet experiment with the programs/settings but will update my personal findings for the forum in the near future.
Initially, the box has been set to program 1 +1. I am told that most files are optimised on the zero setting but due to the differences found in sensor tolerances some cars respond better on +1. Anything higher may result in an engine management light, but there again may not. It is purely down to sensor tolerances, and in some cases fuel quality and ambient air temps can affect things. This program/setting seems to mainly improve performance at the higher rev range and the engine pulls strongly at around 3000-3500rpm. Program 2/3 apparently is more aggressive for power at lower revs.....Watch this space :devil:
