    Get rid of the box!! The stupid box will be making the fuel consumption display significantly better too - remember it displays what the ECU thinks is being used, the box is adding more without the ECU knowing about it. These boxes modify signals to either fool the ECU with false sensor data and/or hold the injection open longer. And people wonder why the ECU throws errors when it is fed false sensor data.

    If you want more go fast ECU flash tune it - an off the shelf flash tune will be better than a really good box - a custom flash tune is another level.

    Glad you got it sorted Karlos.

    Even custom tunes can have interesting consequences, depending on the tune. My revo tune on the 18T A4 affected the traction control. To the point it was almost non-existent. The light would flash on the dash, but the wheels would be spinning their little hearts out. Yes I has the traction control checked out.

    I am not bashing Revo and am considering another one, it is just what that REVO tune did to the A4. Great tune though.
