I got a mk6 gti with sportec stickers on it, I'm the 3rd owner and original owner apparently done Sportec tune to car, anyone know much about them interms of power or psi boost or anyone have one and how do I know if it's legit, I have driven a standard mk6 and mines got noticeable power over standard gti, only modd is carbon fibre cold air intake which I done?

Easiest way to tell is put it on a Dyno somewhere and have them log the boost and AFR's and you'll soon see if its tuned or not. With some of the tunes its possible to download the current data and even look at the map withing to see what they've actually done.Originally Posted by Slowest

A well written tune would be better than eboost. Personally I don't see any benefit from fitting one. Is there an aspect of your current set up you don't like?

Dyno runs with logging - if I'm there that day at between $100~120.
As for the Eboost, yes there's no need for that in fact the factory setup is a lot more capable for the size of the turbo that you have on your car. The limitation in the top end in yours is both the turbo size and to a smaller extent the actuator preload. You'd sort of be better to put the eboost money into buying a K04 turbo setup from a Golf R or S3 - even then you still wouldn't benefit from running any aftermarket controller.
The other thing to note is that you would have to modify the tune to use the external controller anyway as the ECU will always be try to match specified with actual and it would get quite unhappy if it sees big variations in boost compared to what it expects to see.
For big turbo setups yes we would do something like this but I'm talking GT30 frames and larger. On all our 2867 setups for example we have always run with the ECU controlling boost quite nicely
