hi, i was just wondering if anyone has experimented with a steinbauer chip in a 77tsi.
the power gains are looking quite impressive.
thanks

Very dear for a unit that needs to be hooked into the following sensors:

Boost Pressure sensor pre throttle control valve
Boost pressure sensor post throttle control valve
Camshaft sensor
Turbo control valve
Coolant temperature sensor

For close to $3k, i'd be wanting something damn special for that, like an intercooler and exhaust as well.

Oh, you also need to adjust the potentiometer in case something isn't quite running too well as the unit can provide too much power etc(?!?!)

Like most piggybacks, it only alters the fuel map so boost remains as stock.

I'm sure Vinnie got very similar (or better) improvement with a DNA Tuning remap (based in Melbourne!) for well under $1000. Contact DNA Tuning (John Lu - top bloke) - they are a site sponsor.

$2400....that is daylight robbery. Go to DNA tuning for less than a $1000

ABT will take the 77TSI to 103KW. Not sure of the price tho'

lol... that's almost half way the difference to a Polo GTI! Yet the Polo GTI has much better features and even more Powah!

What the above peeps said

FYI
Vinny7's impressions for DNA Tuning remap (no figures)
DNA Tuning power increase 77TSI: 77kW / 175Nm -> 100kW / 220Nm

According to their copy for the Polo GTI, they do mess with the boost levels, can't say about the 77TSI because I didn't actually look...
