V Tech ECU flash tune

[coas tfire safety]

Hi all,

Finally got my T5 128kw 4 Motion van V Tech Stage 1 flash tuned today by Eurocar Upgrades on the Sunshine Coast Queensland!
V Tech is a well known & popular European tune.
Apparently it is now 148kw & with almost 500 Newtons of torque - certainly feels like it!
First gear now pretty much obsolete & now pulls up most hills fully laden, on the highway, with a lot more ease.
They also rectified stupid DPF problem(frequent, vast amounts of white DPF cleanout smoke) along with an airbag issue!
Fuel economy & opinion TBA.

VERDICT: With the added torque, I am able to cruise at substantially lower rpm. Acceleration - goes like hell! Fuel economy has increased by approximately 15 - 20%, so the amount of kilometres I do per week I estimate it will take around 2 years to recoup the cost of the flash tune through fuel saving.
Was it worth the expense - hell yeah!

What year is your T5 as ours does not have the DPF it is the 128kw 400nm model as well .

2008 SWB. I believe only the 4 Motion, for that model, had the DPF!
Total embarrassment, stopped at traffic lights & the ECU decides it's time to burn out the diesel soot in the DPF. It also happened driving into a basement carpark to meet a client!
Anyway, that problem is behind me now.

I have a dog that farts inappropriately.

Doesn't that seem a bit odd two burns that close together or was there a time difference .
