Good video. I know how a tuning box works etc..So from what he is saying if you want a proper stage 1 tune then get it done through a tuner via the OBD port/Ecu and not through a piggyback system.

I have been looking for a dyno close to me. I need to know exactly how much power I'm making.

I think having the option to select different tuning levels is an added advantage for the price however, if you want pops and bangs, then you might be better off going with the ecu tune and add in pops and bangs.. 360hp will be at the very top of the rev range anyway so you are not stressing the car always.

Interestingly, I did my first Launch the other day and my wife was in the car with me recording the launch, the car shot so hard (zero wheel spin) that my wifes phone slipped off her hands and hit her on the face! so I can imagine 500nm would be a lot of torque down low. On the RC box max torque (500nm) comes on from 3k to 5k.
Oh dear, hope the Mrs is ok!!

Word of advise all tuning boxes are causing irregular signal. That is also noted when the box is on running at stock values.
All tuning boxes are applying a lot more boost from any re-map due to lack optimizing full spectrum of what increases power.

It's up for sale as I am running the JB4 platform now.

Was a bit of R&D me working directly with TDI to develop a map for the USA.
