Anyone tuned their 206 tsi

[oebrad]

Hey all,

Car is out of warranty in a couple of months so thinking of getting a tune done.

I'm in Melbourne so looking to get some advice on who to go to and hear of any problems people might have had post upgrading.

Cheers

Always keep a copy of the original tune in email or on your computer just in case if the first tuner were to stuff up
you can always flash it back to the original file that you got and start all over again.

Keen on finding out about any tuners anyone would recommend in Melbourne. I'm in a similar boat where my warranty will be running out in a couple of months.

I think a DSG and an ECU tune will address some of the off the line tardiness/delayed response.

Hi Guys, look us up at Underground Performance in Cheltenham. Done plenty of 206s over the years. You don't get a copy of the stock file but we can flash back to stock very easily on site at any time.

I've been running a JB4 for about 8 months. Not bad if you just want a bit more out of it...

Anyone know if the performance display that's shows kw and boost updates to the new power numbers after a tune?

I know I'm late to the party, here, but I'm running a Stage 2 Unitronic tune + Inlet, and Dump pipe in my 206tsi wagon. It makes the car so much more fun

Mine certainly didn't update (Unitronic stage 2) - also, now at idle, my on-screen boost gauge is reading 5.5PSI, and kW gauge reads 003

Dont forget that the boost gauge is near useless because it doesnt compensate for atmospheric pressure (so you need to subtract 14.7 from what the gauge is telling you).

A stage 2 tune is probably making 20-22psi but im guessing the gauge must be showing 30+ psi on full throttle because of this reason?

At idle your engine should be in vacuum so the gauge should be showing something like -20.

I'm looking to get mine tuned shortly aswell.. I'll be using Burnzy Tuned to do mine, who is based in Melbourne. Bit more of an underground tuner but he has done a fantastic job on previous cars of mine for half the price of the generic Apr type tunes.

Will make a trip down there in coming months, will update here once it's done

Interested to hear how that works out - looks like he almost exclusively tunes 10-15 yr old Mitsubishi Evo's which are very basic ECU-wise compared to a modern VW ECU. Does he have the necessary software and hardware (and experience) to tune a modern VW ECU? Im not trying to say this guy is no good, im just saying he might be better off tuning Evo's and leave the Euro's to the Euro specialists. Similarly I wouldn't take an Evo to a Euro tuner for tuning.

At the very least I would be using an Integrated Engineering tune (off the shelf tune - currently on sale) or a more sophisticated customised tune from someone like Underground Performance (around $1200 i believe) who do VW's day in day out. APR are currently on sale so their price is about $900 at the moment. Another one I forgot about is Superchips which is your cheapest option - these are also currently on sale and come to around $750 or so.

You will also want to look at getting the DSG remapped to reduce the lag, stop the labouring with such low rpm gear changes when in auto mode, speed up gear changes and also increase clutch clamp pressure to help cope with the added torque of the ECU tune.

Thanks for the feedback, valid points. I'm no tuner myself but I do know this guy works on a bunch of different cars but he is more well known in the Evo world. I would have thought if he is working on high hp aftermarket ecus with custom tunes then a stock VW would be a walk in the park?

He was specific with the tunes he offered and mentioned he had tuned them before. (stage 1 was +51kw, and can add snap, crack, pop for extra)

Might do a bit more digging [emoji16]
