77TSI POLO Is there any ecu upgrades on the market yet? I want more power!!!

[Hoofee]

Yesterday we received our new Polo 77TSI, is there a minimum number of kms that we should clock up before getting a chip tune?

1KM!

You need to be sensible with any new car and won't get the biggest numbers with the motor still brand new. Plenty of folk tune straight from the dealers and you are no more likely to have any problems doing that, over waiting 10000ks.

;0)

Ok cool.

I'm interested in getting it done more for drivability rather than top end power, but a little more grunt won't be turned away.

Gavin, are there any details available on the 77TSI tune from CustomCode?

[h100vw]

I asked a little while ago and we can do it. I haven't the actual capability myself yet. I need to buy the module, which I am on the verge of doing.

I haven't seen any numbers, before you ask but as with any tuning of an otherwise standard car, there is a finite amount of power in there. So it would match what everyone else is making, give or take.

Are you going petrol then??

Yep, done and ordered... and now I'm playing the waiting game... (which sucks )

Is that early next year like I just read?

[DNA Tuning]

Just want to put it out there that most of the upgrades for the 77TSI at the moment are just interceptor modules. The reason is, the tools required to interface with this Simos ECU are not widely available and are certainly not cheap. DNA Tuning chose to take the plunge into tuning these vehicles as early on as possible, and as such we have been able to squeeze a rated 100kw from our Stage 1 tune without pushing the limits of boost pressures.

The turbos on the 77TSI are the size of an orange; competing interceptor module products at the moment essentially attempt to "fool" the ECU and call for almost twice as much boost gain as our Stage 1 program is calling for; as such increasing the rate of wear on the turbo/engine and without increasing idle/part throttle smoothness nor fuel efficiency. We can achieve the same power more smoothly and efficiently as we have proper control over all ECU parameters such as fuelling, timing, etc. Wait til you see our Stage 2 tune to suit accompanying intercooler and exhaust upgrades. =)

Of course, gradually there will be more and more proper ECU remaps available. That said, I hate to ask the question for those waiting for more options, but... why wait? =) Our 77TSI tune has been carefully refined and developed and is available for just $830. Cheaper alternatives may arrive sooner, but I can't imagine by much!

I take it this will void the warranty on the car?

Associated components, not the whole warranty (eg: the power windows are still covered). Plenty of other threads that have asked the same question.
