Where are you located?

Ft Lauderdale... the home of no car inspections or car nannies lol

 

[Wusah]

I may take you up on that offer

 

[Rayjoedef]

Side note.....have been emailing back and forth with tdi.....they are super quick and detailed in their responses. I see that as a great sign.

360bhp link
400bhp variant link

How do you know if your car is the 360bhp or 400bhp version in the uk?

All 1st editions are 360bhp.

Surely its V6s are 400bhp, the I4 is 360bhp. Nothing to do with it being first edition or not

Uk Turbo SE are 400hp , look at the invoice. All America I4 are 400hp

Only UK, USA all are 400

If you bought your I4 in US and China, they are 400 hps, but if you buy in UK or anywhere else besides US or China, they will be 360hps.

Unless it's an SE

 

[Wusah]

Yes, I forgot to add that I meant first editions

 

[Lotus F1]

It's tricky as I have a US 1st edition and it's 400hp

"Yes, This will increase the turbo boost pressures, If we do release any update maps for this then we will contact you and you can update the tuning box remotely using the TDI Tuning App on your phone.

We have a development day next Tuesday booked in for more map adjustments and work on the Emira so we will contact you and let you know how this goes and the outcome here"

Surely the piggy back for the 360hp version can raise the boost and fuel enough to take it to the 440hp as stated for the 400hp version piggyback. The factory 400hp Emira would surely only be getting this extra power from a little extra boost pressure and fuelling anyway.

I'm not sure, as i don't know the metric exactly how they make the power increase safe. Remember they are using the factory tune and altering/spoofing it to get the higher numbers. I don't think the 360hp is going to get the same as the 400hp will as the baseline is different. The 360hp should get to the 400hp essentially but not equal the power the 400hp baseline will make. The factory map matters and that is what they are referencing off of and why they list projected hp for both variants which are not the same.

Must be done as a percentage gain rather than the piggyback actually telling the turbo to run more boost. My ECUMaster DET3 piggyback (as well as others) has the ability to control specific boost levels, which is why I thought you could just go straight to the 440hp. This being a new car probably doesn't allow for these older style piggybacks to work the same way.

 

[Lotus F1]

Yes correct , it's not a piggyback based system or standalone. It's definitely working of the stock map with some tricks. It's a good temporary solution

 

[675430VME]

Without logging interface like the JB4, TDI most likely will only up the boost slightly to be safe, so...
