Don’t bother.

Did you encounter the boost issues? or was there multiple issues? have you found an alternative?

Boost issue is the reason.

I’m now mapped stage 2 on the Dyno Spectrum system.

Car is now immense.

Never heard of the dyno spectrum system, wanted to use a tuning box for warranty purposes.. was either going to go mrc or unitronic after. 

 

thanks

Dyno Spectrum is Unitronic equivalent, you get an interface and flash yourself.

One plus is it resets the flash counter, so on the face of it the car appears stock, however I’m sure if you were to try a warranty claim Audi will see something has changed in the ECU.

I thought that with the JB4 but in the end too much trouble getting it to work properly.

My car is 3 years old so hence the full remap route I’ve taken now.

Makes sense, I have messaged peron automotive to gain some info on what to expect with a stage 1, stage 1 plus and stage 2.

 

Thanks
