DNA Tuning Polo upgrades available

I guess they can try using the same setting as for the Golf MkVI 118kW twin charge since the unit only has to be able to establish communications with the ECU (then it's up to the tuning company to interpret/modify the map).

I think you're probably right, the engine is the same as the 118TSI motor in the Golf anyway, just with a bit more oomph

This is from another thred in the Tuning section of the site...

As per my other thread in the sponsor section requesting test cars for our SRS-II unit; the new range of the 1.4TSI's are now supported in the latest SRS-II firmware - but not the 77 TSI as that is a different ECU altogether. I carry many of these in stock and would be keen to check compatibility with the GTI's

I assume this SRS-II unit allows you to program different ECU settings on your car? Using the unit itself and a PC?

[gavs]

Not 100% sure but I believe that yes, that is the basic premise behind it...

1. Set the car/ecu for the unit with it connected via usb to a pc using the Alientech rebranded software.
2. Connect the unit to the ODB port on the car and download the stock ECU map
3. Connect the unit back to the PC and download the stock map and then email this to the tuning company
4. Receive back the new map(s) from the tuning company via email
5. Load the maps (up to 3) that you want to use with your car via USB from the PC (you may need to remove the stock map if you get more than 2 remaps).
6. Connect the unit to the ODB port on the car, choose the map you want to run and flash the ECU.

Hmmm, seems a bit of a hastle for something that might get done once or twice.... Might just look at the standard map with 155kw and 300Nm

Once this is done, you can just switch between maps by repeating step 6.
This lets you revert fully to stock if you want for servicing.

It's really not that hard - I've just listed out the steps but the most time is spent waiting for the tuning company to email back the new maps.

Without a unit like this, the tuner (John in this case) will have done steps 1-5 at some stage (with Vinny's car for the 6R Polo TSi) to get the maps on to a loader (or probably does it directly to/from PC with the right cables/software) and does step 6 for you without having to redo the prelims.

I have downloaded the manual from DNA Tuning, it seems like a useful tool in as far as it can get your original stock ECU setup back, just in case you need warranty work. Doesn't seem that complicated either.

Sorry to bring up an old thread; can't believe I completely missed this one. If anyone has more questions regarding the upgrades please feel free to post them here and I will answer as best as I can.

I am considering increasing the number of free dyno run slots; I am in need of some stock vehicles for the dyno run whereby the upgrade will be performed on the same day to do an after run later in the day. Trying to get together roughly 20 vehicles for this dyno day. Please enquire now and I'll do my best to offer you a free dyno run!
