Hi lads first post on here just brought a a3 8l 1.8t agu and i have brought a ecu wich was supposed to be mapped to around 180bhp but had my key man come and code it in and i have not found any diffrence in power or any diffrence the car is totally standard any help with anythink i need to do to see the extra ponys thanks.

do you have a boost gauge or any way of logging?
you may have been mapped before and never knew it?

Cheers pal will try and sort it tomoz and post back.

 

[donkeybubles ben]

longer than tomoz haha but managed to rig a boost gauge up to mine and its boosting a around 13psi 0.9baris this good or bad ???

Think standard boost pressure is 7-8 psi

So your car was prob mapped previously

Ye it just dosnt feel quick atall ever does anyone no 0-60 times standard and remapped maybe try that?

 

[daz-20vt]

too many variables to determin 0-60 mapped vs oem really.
log your boost and airflow one of the forum big dogs will break the info down for you!

Ill try and grab the air flow readings tomoz what readings will i need when on boost /tickover/crusing ?
