ECU Upgrade Appreciation or Problems

[silberpfeil]

Hi everyone, I will be getting a Golf V 2.0 TDI 103 kW shortly, and I intend to do some chip tuning.

Has anyone got experience with products/services from
- DP Chip (Berrima Diesel)?
- Oettinger?
- Evolve Technik?

I believe there is a fundamental difference between concepts, in that some provide a box (like DP Chip) and others that reprogram the ECU.

Any help/hints is much appreciated.

I've had my TDi Jetta oettinger flashed for the last month now and done about 2500kms. I've got nothing but praise for the chip! Still returns good fuel economy. We drove to Ipswich and then up Mt Glorious for a spin the other day and I still got an average of 5.7L/100, that was a 280km round trip. The torque is just awesome now! It doesn't change cogs as much now as it has that extra torque and makes the engine work. Even my missus loves having it chipped as she drives it 85% of the time. She use to hate the lag on take off with the DSG, but since having it chipped has improved it by heaps! She is not so scared at roundabouts in peak hr. I highly recommend one. I know the oettinger is expensive for the initial outlay but they have a good name and you can buy it with warranty. It sure puts a smile on my face when the turbo kicks in!!

I installed the Viezu V-Switch (formally Chipped UK ST3), the service was great and painless, and with the UK pound low against the A$ was very economical, abt $700.
I can reprogram the ECU back to original or select the Econ-tune or the Fastroad tune, the car is very responsive and great on fuel.

Got all the mods done (for now), the Viezu(ST3) fast road tune and exhaust is great (looks cool too)
