Stage 1 Tune

[iDiesel]

It'll be like discovering the Tiguan all over again once you have the tune.
Enjoy!

So here is a chart (for the GTI, but essentially the same I guess).

Here's the APR tune to compare it with. The APR one looks a bit smoother with a more consistent torque delivery, whereas the celtic one comes on a bit harder with the torque but then drops back a bit.

The APR one also looks more impressive because the stock figures are lower than the one used on the Celtic. Given Celtic have sent you a Golf GTI dyno, perhaps they use the 169kw version and thats why the stock figures are higher. Im sure the APR graph has been "smoothed" to look better, but agreed it does look like a better tune overall. The info from Celtic actually is a dyno printout, not a fancy computer generated image like APR use.

That's a good point about printout vs. graphic. I think I'm gravitating towards to APR tune though, mainly because they're more common and tried and tested from what I can see.

Yeah looking at the Celtic dyno, the Celtic tune could be improved on in this instance. It comes on with a big rush between 2,000-2,700rpm, then dies off and then builds up again around 4,000rpm, so between 2,700rpm - around 4,000rpm it would feel a bit lethargic....and this is the RPM range where you drive most of the time.

Most dyno charts I've looked at previously show a flatter torque curve than that, doesn't look ideal to me (but then I'm no expert).

Having never heard of this mob before I googled it and found a page with reviews, 80% good, 20% bad with a couple claiming their ECUs were damaged. No idea as to the veracity of their claims.
