As title suggests have an Audi A3 S Line (59/10 Plate) 140 bhp, and looking at increasing power output

Appreciate such boxes (on Ebay) are pretty much the same, if not the same. So, have any of the STW collective had any experiences or any recommendations. Is it really as simple as plug and go, seems too easy for £75.00. Also will said box interfere with anything else electrical / electronic on the car

Mucho Gratis

Get a proper remap instead. All that thing's likely to do is dump more fuel in, no tweaking to allow for variations between engines. Good if you like black smoke though

Wouldn't touch it with yours!!!
Pay for a proper company to remap not a plug into the Diag socket bodge

The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long!!!

Or VES in Leeds £300 will get you 170 bhp, and a load more midrange.

Depending on where you are have a look at Midlands Car Care and what they offer.

Russ can do you remaps or tuning boxes that not only hook in to the fuel rail but also the boost pressure so you don't have issues with the DPF if your car has one.

DTUK boxes are meant to be pretty reputable. I'd personally go for a remap if I'd bought a slow car and wanted it to be faster though.
