Which tuner to use? And Intake issues?
bluebert92:
I'm planning on getting my 1.4 TSI Twincharger mapped this year and Ideally would like to book it in ASAP however I'm at a loss as to which company to go for?
I've heard amazing reviews regarding R-Tech and usually that would be my go to tuner. It does however seem that R-Tech don't work on the on the MK5 TSI 140, unless there is a typing error on their information sheets (http://www.r-techpower.co.uk/r-tech-vw-remap.htm) ? I have contacted them regarding this and I am awaiting a reply as preferably R-Tech is the place I would choose but just in case are their other companies that would be recommended?
The ones I have in mind for a backup are;
* REVO Stage 1 185bhp
* Shark - 180bhp
* APR - 180bhp
* Superchips 180bhp
It seems as if they all offer a similiar power output and torque range but as a first time modder i'm unaware of the reputations each company may have?
The ideal scenario is that R-tech respond that they do infact work on my car and all is well!

Next issue being that i'm struggling to find an Intake system that seems to fit my car? although they claim to fit none of them account for this particular pipe? I just want to know is it needed?
This pipe connects to my original air box so I would assume its needed?

Volkswagen racing do an intake that fits.

That pipe is part of the breather system and uses the air box suction. You could add a small joiner to a silicone hose post filter and connect the pipe. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00EE59DX2/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1455487133&sr=8-2&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=10mm+hose+connector

So potentially with that I would need a joiner as you have shown and some pipe to match? I would assume the intake for the 170 would fit the 140?
