Anyone tuned their 206 tsi

[Lucas_R]

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
