FR 170 Tdi & Tunit :)

[Birdy]

Just fitted my Tunit this morning and wow it has made it a different car, pulls really well through the gears and revs longer, been out for a quick spin and it scared me a few times.....going to try and get down to awesome-gti by the end of next week to get it RR'd.

Sounds good.

I've just read up on this - It says it's adjustable - what setting have you go it on? Do you know what power this is?

On the side it states 195bhp but does not say on which setting this is achieved.

 

[Crazyhazy]

What exactly is it? And what did it cost? And how long as Astley been in Manchester?

Its on setting 5 at the mo the same setting as the tunit fr, will have to wait untill its been RR for the real figures.

Its seems a little better but can't really tell (right foot to heavy).

I'm surprised they don't make it clear what setting = what power. I'd hope that the maximum setting is their quoted 195 bhp otherwise it could be dangerous due to the problems people have seen over 200 break.

Seems like a good product though - take it off for a service and no issues with the dealer wiping the map if they update the ecu.

But generally people don't seem to rate the piggy back things compared to normal maps - that's my impression anyway.

So is it a one-size-fits-all aplication? It can be taken out of the 2.0 170, and placed in any of the PD engines?

If so this could be very tempting as I dont keep them long

Any chance of getting some with and without tunit vag-com logs? Would be interesting to see what it's doing.

How do I do that then mate?

 

[BanziBarn]

So does anyone know if this product is as sophisticated as a remap or is it just a glorified resister?

Beware the tunit does have to have a different inter face for the 170hp engine - its in the small print [although the tunit black box may be interchangeable]

From what i can gather mate its not just a resister, Tunit are a very big company and have spent a number of months with design for this chip, seems to be one of the only ways of getting a bit extra without any problems like the remaps that i have been reading about since the FR came out, i am very happy with mine.
