If you're bothered about the warranty get a "Tuning Box". ;)
Get one from DTUK for £430, which will take it up to 360bhp. Cheers, Grant |

Its worth the wait:thumb: I think I had to wait 5 months from when I first ordered. Keep seeing black mk7 Golf R's about, and kind of wish I went for black instead of the pink.:D

I'd be looking for £300 plus postage for the DTUK FSR tuning box and peddle box, I'll give you a heads up when I'm looking to sell.

I'm still to be convinced that these tuning boxes will be completely undetectable, despite reading about them on the R-Forum... it's a bloody big gamble to take!! One wee TD1 Flag and its goodbye warranty and hello hassle.
Cheers, Grant Remaps are of course a totally different story. Although there are ways to get round that. |

How is a tuning box going to throw an ECU flag. The ECU does not know a box is even attached.

I doubt available or dealer level diagnostics reveal all. Tuning boxes usually intercept pressure sensors and a rotational sensor. Whilst there may be no MAF sensor, the fuel flow, longitudinal g and wastegate adaptations are easy giveaways. Best approach is to tune if you want to, knowing the consequences. The R 'needs' a tune in the sense that the stock engine is typical detuned VAG and feels generic.

Shaun i see Weistecs is actually an ECU am i right ?
Just unplug old one add this thing ? looks weird is that what the ECU looks like ( not looked ) |
The DTUK tuning box made a big difference to a friend's 64 plate S3, certainly worth the money and he is seriously considering the gearbox unit now

Personally.... I would suggest these are a gimmick. All they do is alter the voltage at the sensor, so the engine thinks it has more throttle angle than the pedal has actually made. The downside of this is that you end up with less "control" through the throttle, and it becomes more on and off - not what you really want for driveability imo.
The SB had 3 settings and throttle response was totally different between them |
CN15 YCK HAS BEEN STOLEN 2.10am Monday 30th March 2015

STOLEN CN15 YCK
Gutted:(
Got woken up this morning at 2.10am with my wife shouting me to phone the police as someone is driving off in the car, Went downstairs to find the rear door had the lock drilled out and the keys for the Golf R missing!!:eek: The keys where on the dining room table and rested on top of some cash, the cash and a I-pad next to it was left, and just the keys taken.:wonder: Police told me I should have taken the keys to bed with me!!!:cuckoo: |

Bloody hell that sounds a bit dramatic for the sake of an average hatch back and I don't mean that as any dis-respect to the car, I can see going to those lengths for some exotica but for a golf. :wonder:
Anyway glad that you and the family are ok, that's the most important thing.:thumb: As for the cop saying take the keys to bed with you, they or he/she wants a slap and I'd be reporting them for going around suggesting that to people. :cuckoo: |
Sorry to hear that, at least no one was hurt. Thieving scumbags I hope they catch them.

Still its a golf that's quite a lot of money to be fair.

Gutted for you but sounds like they are being stolen to order
|
Brun - waiting for the "I take my keys to bed with me because I do Kung foo and keep a baseball bat nearby" brigade :Suspiciou

scoobyboy1,
Terrible news. :( However, your family is safe and insurance can take care of the rest. |

Yep.... that's what they normally do with a car that is that new. Offer an exact like for like replacement.
Have you got a garage? |
