    depends on the chip the oettinger one I beleive is a full re flash and very hard to detect the dp one changes your fuel pump settings / delivery which s easy to detect through diagnostics, but feel free to correct me.

    I have a Golf V 2.0 TDI which had a flash upgrade of ECU with the Optican OBD tuning which is probably similar to Oetinger and Revo Technik.
    125kw and 375NM of torque for $1500.
    Flash upgrade is undetectable, only a rolling road dyno would detect the difference.
    The quality of power delivery is excellent and it will out pull local V6's as well as Mk 4 RS32 on the open road.
    Before spending money on making the car a "Performance Car" a "High Performance" driving course will set you back less and show you how to get the very best from what you already have. Around Sandown Raceway the 2.0 TDI with standard tyres and brakes and no performance add ons is not a lot slower than a GTi when driven well so becoming a performance driver and learning to handle what you have already will make your car go a lot faster (and then upgrade chip of course!!).

    I still wouldn't use the dp chip, I haven't heard that great things about it. I would prob stick with Revo or even Giac now that they have developed a reflash for the Tdi

    I would be interested what you have heard about the dp chip. Is this the same as: www.diesel-power.com?

    What happens when your dealer does a firmware upgrade with your flashed ECU ?

    If you go to;
    OBDTuning Australasia
    15 Palmer Parade,
    Richmond. VIC. 3121
    Ph: + 61 3 9421 1266
    Fax: + 61 3 9421 1277
    E: info@obdtuning.com.au
    and ask to speak to Peter West he will reveal all. Or you can preview the set up by looking at their website.
    If your dealer should do an upgrade for whatever reason you take your car back to the place you had it tuned and they keep the software on their laptop with your rego against it. They can then re-install the tuning codes. Each car, even if they have an identical engine type, has its own tuning specific to its individual Engine Management ECU so no two cars have exactly the same tuning codes. Your car is taken in and connected via the OBD port to the laptop which 'reads' the engine's codes and that info is sent, via e-mail to Germany. Several hours later, an e-mail is received back which will have the new codes for your particular car. They are not interchangeable with anyone else's engine. The germans seem to have the best tuning systems as they tend to work well within the capabilities of the engine. The latest diesels seem to be capable of approaching the magical figure of 100 bhp / liter displacement and indeed I know that the latest 2.4l 5 cylinder diesel Alfa 159 produces 240 bhp after chip tuning.
