From what I've read so far, there is a connection point at the bottom of the engine so you will have to jack the car up.

3+3 seems to be the preferred map to run.

some people have done it with out jacking it up how ever i couldn't so had to jack it up to get it done

 

[Dobby]

ok il stick it up on my ramps then... thought id be able to do it from above

They are all accessible from the top except the boost pressure sensor, which will require the car being jacked up, the front engine tray is obstructing it. You can do it with the tray on, but it's just easier to take it off for the sake of 4 (or 6, cant remember) clips.

EDIT: Below is the installation guide for a DTUK box on a 1.4TFSI engine.

Yes its not the same engine, but the boost pressure sensor (the difficult one to reach) is shown in it.

Anymore questions im sure @ABYSS (local DTUK man) can help you, they're renowned for their excellent customer services.

all done, was a simple job once it was up on the ramps, without taking the tray off i dont see how people can do it because i couldnt even see it... within 5 minutes the tray was off and connected up spent some time routing the cables trying to tidy it up

out of interest where do most people put the box?

I tucked mine in the gap between the battery and the air box.
Set the programme to 1 and select the plus 2 setting
I tried a few different settings but the 1 +2 seems to be my favourite

 

[RedRS3Reilly]

I didn't jack the car up either, it can be done from the top with perseverance, if I'm doing it again yes I'm definitely using a jack or a ramp, I took ages and my arm and my mates arm were scarred and cut to bits

 

[Dobby]

How you did that ill never know, i couldnt see it from above tried squeezing my hand everywhere but no luck, even when on the ramps.. 2 minute job to take that tray off though...

Time to fit the intake i guess

 

[RedRS3Reilly]

Long arms and lots of patience lol
What Intake are you fitting?
I was thinking of buying the vw r600 intake

Let me know how the intake sounds, I'm only going to order one if there's not lots of noise from it

I just bought the tuning box, peddle box and the r600 intake aswel should all be arriving anyday now thinking on if i should wait for my first service to install them 4k km away or just do it cause I'm itching to try them lemme know what settings you find best with this new tune.thanks

 

[Dobby]

Id fit them now, took my 30 mins to replace them back to standard last week and 4k is a long time
