EOI for Custom-Code software

[h100vw]

Hi there MK4 people and others that have flashable ECUs.

Since opening up in the business sales sub-forum last week, I have had a fair amount of interest in Custom-Code software/products. Mainly Bora 4-motions.

I have been talking with 'goodfella' and he suggested setting up a group buy. I would probably fly over to Sydney, one Friday afternoon to carry it out.

I haven't made a firm decision on the price structure yet. Obviously, I'll have to make it worth your whiles. The current price with C-Cs 30% discount offer is $980.

So to gauge interest, if you would please add your names and I'll update this top post as we go. I'll leave it running until next Friday.

Cheers

Gavin

As discussed, I'm keen...

10% gain for under $1k...sounds good to me!

Does the GB only apply to guys in Sydney?? I would definitely get on board if a GB were able to bring down the price a bit, and I were able to get that price when I visit Adelaide

couple of questions, may as well post them here so others can benefit from the answers too.

1) how much for the code for my gt tdi? (the 170hp model)
2) how much to modify the code in the future with the addition of aftermarket air filter and exhaust?

thanks gavin.

sukebe,
I wasn't trying to upset anyone outside Sydney, it was just where the interest was. If you come to Adelaide, you'll be looked after.


Mischa,
I believe I need to buy a different interface to do your TDI. If you could get your ECU number for me, it'll be easy to confirm that. I'll be doing that, after I have made back my investment, on the one to do the petrol models.

Pricing would be comparable with the petrol models. Upgrading to Phase 2 isn't something I am planning on offering, the process isn't overly complicated but is time consuming. The time difference between here and the UK being an issue. As C-C rewrite the code and send it back, that would mean working on the car in the evening.

I have found this comparison...

Standard CUSTOM-CODE POWERCHIP
Power 150 kW 165KW(225HP) 166 kW
Torque 270 Nm 298Nm(215ft/lb) 299Nm
. ............................. $980 $1,290

Its Got ME!

This post isn't to bag Powerchips however, I tried to chip a 2000 passat 1.8T 2 years ago. I could read the ECU but not flash it. Eventually, I managed to read the code and send it to C-C for them to look at. It wasn't std but didn't request any extra boost. The guy had done a before run on a dyno which produced a couple of KWs more than my then std Audi A3.

It turned out that the previous owner had paid a fair bit of cash to have a Powerchip installed. This was on an encryption board that had been soldered into the ECU. C-C had to ship me a preflashed chip to install on the encryption board. This did the trick and I had one happy customer.

He was very surprised to learn that the car had already been chipped, as you just would never have known. I had been out with him to check the car out, logging the airflow and boost and never noticed anything.

I can't see how there would be anything wrong with the chip, the car ran fine. I didn't replace anything else on the car, so I have to assume it was poor code??

A shame that a dirty spammer got in, but it did put this thread back in my mind again.

I did end up with the 2003 Bora V6 4Motion...

Hi Gavin,
I know it has been a while since this thread was started, but with an NA car is it only really worth it if you go the full cat back option (Milltek exhaust or similar) first?

If not (I've only done a CAI -BMC CDA) I would be interested in investigating the options. Like qsilverza I am also located in Melbourne. I'm not sure if he is still in the market for this mod (are you Dylan?) or maybe others in Melbourne are interested to make the trip worthwhile for you? Otherwise I might consider going over to Adelaide much as Nathan (sukebe) did. Also, is around $980 still possible given the dollar drop since this was first posted? Interested to know.
