You on RMS Andy?
Have been looking at these over the past few days and am very tempted to get one!!Karlcee wrote:Hi guys, I just got a dtuk box for my polo yesterday. It claimes 240 ps and 400nm of tourqe. I can honestly bleave it too. I'm currently on setting one +2. Has anyone got one, and what setting do you recommend?
I'd love one my self but way my luck is at the minute something would happen the car [emoji23][emoji23]Deejbb wrote:Have been looking at these over the past few days and am very tempted to get one!!Karlcee wrote:Hi guys, I just got a dtuk box for my polo yesterday.

Likewise but the fact that you can take it off is what appeals..rm55mcc wrote:I'd love one my self but way my luck is at the minute something would happen the car [emoji23][emoji23]Deejbb wrote:Have been looking at these over the past few days and am very tempted to get one!!Karlcee wrote:Hi guys, I just got a dtuk box for my polo yesterday.

Yeah as I said I've heard mixed messages, some people say it can't be detected and others say that the ECU will store information such as the turbo boosting harder etc and they can tell something has been fiddled withrm55mcc wrote:Deejbb wrote:Likewise but the fact that you can take it off is what appeals..

This logs all runtime data, 'Actual' values, conditions and Adaptation and coding data where relevant from all ECU's on the vehicle (DME, Instrument Cluster et al) the data can be used to pinpoint adaptation trends and enables worldwide comparison for system improvements and also reference for technicians to aid fault diagnosis. Most ECU's have volatile memories that can be erased / cleared with use or with a battery disconnect but there are also units that are non-volatile. The latest cars have more units with Permanent Fault memory sections - particularly linked to emissions and engine running conditions. Instrument clusters on 1997> cars can store info on distance driven with check light on and time/mileage with low oil pressure.

In other words don't do it , and if summit happenes your fooked and insurance will walk away from you
of course if you do do it then insure it properly with the likes of Adrian Flux and once it's out of warranty then Warranty Direct will entertain a modified car but of course at a cost and in which case it's more worthwhile buying a faster car in the first place!People will say they can't, but they can.rm55mcc wrote:Deejbb wrote:Likewise but the fact that you can take it off is what appeals..
