Fitted a high flow air filter yesterday.
Done ECU and TCU remap today
I actually found, when I fitted high flow air filter to my 2016 Audi TT 2.0 TDI it performed better than my 2016 Audi S3 2.0 TFSI engine.
What have you done to your 8V today?

So how is different? And what's TCU for?Fitted a high flow air filter yesterday.

More PS is always better
Now my 1.5 has the power equal to the 2.0. It should be approx. 180-190PS and 300-310Nm. The 2.0 owners get this from the factory though.TCU stands for a Transmission Control Unit and it is a brain for the DSG/S-tronic.
But u have 1.6 car not 1.5?More PS is always better

I know more bhp but Is it actually better?
Yeah brain but what actually has been done?
I have a 2019 A3 35TFSI (1.5TFSI COD engine). The 1.6 TDI was my previous car.
More bhp means more power, faster acceleration. The car feels lighter and faster.
On the dsg tuning, I recommend reading here: https://tvsengineering.com/en/performance/gearbox-software/
Man c'moon I know long time ago what bhp means
Am askin if you have really some improvement.? Noticeable? No any problems?
Will check link
Yep, my last few Audi, all mapped, made them all so much more of a "drivers car" improved fuel as well!
A3 2010 plate, 2.0tdi 170bhp, mapped 225bhp
A3 2014 plate, 2.0tdi 150bhp, mapped 190bhp
TT 2010 plate, 2.0tdi 170bhp, mapped 225bhp
TT 2016 plate, 2.0tdi 184bhp, mapped 210bhp
My car now S3 2016 plate, 2.0TFSI 296bhp, mapped 350bhp
Each one I noticed a difference on performance.

Looks fantastic. Really sets off the car. If you don't mind me asking the obvious question of, how much? Do you really feel a massive difference in stopping distance?Bit of a brake upgrade, forge big brake kit to the front, ebc grooved discs, yellow pads all round and braided hoses

Had remap done £150 'stage 1' but am not feeling any difference?
Looks cheap, most cost between £250 and £400.
Was it not done on a rolling road, so you could see before and after map results??
Everyone I had done, I had this and could see before and after results.

Above link was my old A3, before I had the TTs then the current S3.
Very suspicious Peter, you should at least feel the extra torque.
The cheapest I've been quoted for a basic map was £250.00
425.00 for Revo

I thought you had a quattro Peter?
They have mapped a 150bhp 2.0 from what it looks like on the vehicle description, maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

Well he wanted to charge me £200 and I ask if can he do 150 so he said ok
corona discount I saw how is the file flashing.. It took altogether about hour?
I didn't try the car properly yet put the foot down properly heh .. Maybe little bit is better.. If mine is 184 and increase is don't know how much 35 bhp more?
I should feel the difference?
So does the mechanic know if the car has been already remapped?
Can he see it? Maybe seller didn't tell me..
No I asked him why there is 150 and he said it is just generic file name or ecu reading.. Car is quattro heh

So do I have to have it on dynamic only or torque is better on all drive modes?

You defo see a difference.
All mine have been done at the same place, dyno included, £250.
(I do get a discount now, being a regular)
On the dyno, you can see what your car is doing at the start, say 150bhp, then what its doing after, say 186bhp.
You would know from the offset, what is what.

The place where I get my car mapped charges £25 per dyno run, multiple runs you get a discount.

I've used GB Enterprises in Bridgewater Somerset and its £85 / run. £25 is dirt cheap
Total ripoff ...
well in the south of england everything is so expensive really don't understand why it's crazy
The place I use is in North Devon, if you clicked on the link in my other post, the details are there.
Plus, like I said, you see my old A3 from 2 years ago.
You wont need multiple runs to see what your car is doing, that is for people who tune their car, dyno it, tune some more, dyno it again etc.
The chap in North Devon for £250, will dyno your car to see what stock performance you have, then load the software and dyno again once done.
If he think it needs a tweak, he will do that to the software, then re-dyno as many times as needed all for £250 which I think is very fair price.
You have paid £150 and have no idea what you had at the start and no idea to what you have now!!

@DJAlix you opening line made me chuckle. Peter82 does have an opinion on everything and everyone else is wrong or incorrect. As far as I've heard you always do a top job for site members.Oh, it’s you. Here we go again....

Why are you always so negative. Every time @DJAlix does this retrofit your on here. By all means if you can find the Oem parts and a professional installer to do it cheaper, then you go there. End of.
All controls work as they should. The screen becomes Apple Car play but you can use the MMI and VC as normal. Personally I got it so it streams the LBC app instantly when I turn on the car, can’t get it over here, it’s a bit annoying looking for the cable and plugging in each time.
think that’s a bargain. I was quoted double that from other retrofitters. The parts alone is around £300 for genuine Audi so really not much for Alex’s time/labour/insurance.
