Just a thought, maybe it would be a good idea to advertise the power rating as "at the wheels."

Also, does BPS run an AWD dyno

Good idea Clay.

The graph was more done for a brochure to quickly and easily show the gains that come from our tunes.

Yes BPS have an AWD dyno. So FWD cars are measure at the front wheels and AWD cars at all 4 wheels.

Awesome.

Excellent spotting on the colours not matching. Guess i was too busy to pick that up. Surely it is obvious though that our results are the green lines though? I will fix the colour miss match up.

Yes just being a picky marketer

I love the idea of your touch pad. Does it plug into the port under the steering wheel?
And, when it reverts to standard (dealer service friendly) is it a bit-perfect copy of the original individual car scan?

haha, someone had to do it.

Your spot on. The OBDII port on the right under the steering wheel. When you switch back to the factory tune it 100% loads and reverts back to the factory tune from VW.

These would still require a bench tune first wouldn't they?

So.... will this infact tune a MK6 GTI straight from the OBD straight up? Or do you have to crack open the ECU to enable.

We are a few weeks away from being able to do it purely via OBDII

Sounds good to me.
If Mr. ATO is generous to me in two weeks, I think I'll order your touchpad and intake box.
Would appreciate you PM me when you've cracked the OBDII

Don't spose you guys do the 125TDI, do you?

I should also mention APR is an American company. I have never seen there claimed results make what they say. They also claim power at the engine. Not at the wheels on a roller dyno. Cheap Hub dynos dont count when 95% of the industry uses roller dynos.

I'm no expert in Dyno readings or dyno's but I'm sure I've heard that hub dyno's are more accurate with power output readings???

Hub dyno's don't give any slip from the tyre so they read more consistantly across the board.
However, they are FWD only from memory and in the real world you will get some slip.

It's basically up to you what you want to go with

haha Mr ATO. Its mostly a hate hate relationship with that guy isnt it? He just teases you once a year.

Will make the announcement when its ready. Cheers

Sure do mate.

As Clay said. They can probably be more consistent as they are attached to the hub. However about 95% of the industry uses roller dyno's. So when someone says to me they made 200kw with there car. I immediately take 15-30% off of that to get a more real world figure. By real world i mean, something comparable to everyone else in the industry. If you have a look here and download the spectune overview ive written a little bit about dyno results. May be helpful for some people.

[Mysticality]

Sure do mate.

Great!
How much for stage 1, and what is claimed power increase?

I'm looking at a Revo at the moment, mainly because stage 1 to stage 2 is a $50 changeover and stage 2 has a DPF delete option! Do you guys offer the same?

I'm south/west of Sydney so Brissy is a bit of a stretch... But thats what the OBD-II flash is for.

I have spent a wonderful 20 minutes in the company of my new Spectune and I am very impressed! The car has previously had both Bluefin and DNA, I've only felt the DNA and the previous owner said that was a lot better than the Bluefin.

Well, Spectune kicks in so much earlier than the DNA tune and feels more powerful right through the range as you can really feel the boost kick in way earlier, very noticeable! Also seems to have a lot more top end compared to what I had yesterday.

Tried a launch too but was too excited to measure it, tomorrow night perhaps???

I am looking forward to getting more acquainted with Spectune over the next few weeks (Happy Laps and weekend fun!!!)
