Prinzipfrage: "Rauchregelung" | Posts 16+

Hi Michl,
I find it somewhat pointless to try and optimize every minute detail of a fundamentally 'brute force' type of speaker setup (which speakers are, by their nature, regardless of whether I own one myself).

The effort required for this will ultimately 'outweigh' the already available alternative (namely, a good chip tuning) by a significant margin... so what's the point of all the complications ?

Hello Ulf!

All of this is perfectly clear and completely understood to me.
On the other hand, I've also read about the 'problems' (on the forum) that can arise when using large nozzles, and how a customer who might consider themselves 'uninformed' might even think that the chip needs to be adjusted to fit the nozzles.
(Not to mention the larger chargers, LLK, and more LD, etc.!)

Because I can also smoke quite well with the box, I don't need a chip to spend a lot of money on, and I don't need a few ulcers from getting annoyed!

Conclusion: As long as I don't hear or read anything about positive chip tuning (WITHOUT SMOKE!) AND large injectors, I will probably have to continue indulging my 'tinkering urge'...

If that changes, I will most likely switch to a 'proper' tuner as well!

(...or can you -or perhaps someone else- possibly help me with addresses? )

Best regards,
Michl.

Hi Michl,

I don't really have a reliable tip for that.

And the more I become aware of the complexity of the TDI system, with its dozens of software settings that can be adjusted to...
first, to inject more.
then increase the boost pressure.
then delaying the start of fuel injection to make the engine more responsive and reduce soot emissions, while also relieving the turbocharger from excessively high exhaust temperatures.
then, let's add a little more diesel.
...and the software chaos that can arise, even in seemingly simple situations, if you forget to adjust the "linked" characteristic fields for limitations, etc., to match the previously modified characteristic fields.
Then I believe that in our time of ruthless profit optimization (i.e., developing things quickly and sloppily and selling them at a high price) , no truly professional chip tuner is exploiting all the possibilities that the system offers for the "most material-efficient" performance increase.

In short: I would only trust chip tuning that is custom-made (and custom-understood!).

Since I'm too dumb to do that, I'll stick to using a box, because the wooden hammer is essentially manageable for me (and can be easily adjusted by Poti if needed ), unlike manipulated characteristic maps, of which I only get to see a few through VAGCOM data logging.

I simply believe that the problem and the solution regarding the oxygen sensor are a pointless argument, with no practical benefit whatsoever.

Hi Ulf!!!

I must say, you're really 'speaking to my soul' ... When I hear some of these stories, I can't shake the feeling that they all just want to be cashiers, but they actually know a lot? Not really...

'I've been repairing things myself ever since I started driving (which is 15 years now), not because I'm cheap, but because I simply don't really trust the mechanics at the workshops. And if I really need help, I'll just stand by and watch!'
(I hope you don't mind... )

Unfortunately, I'm 'somewhat' spoiled by the performance of my last tuning project (Audi 200-20V), so I can't resist giving my current 'sensible' TDI a little more power...

Well, I guess I'll have to keep tinkering with my box a little longer...

Best regards from beautiful Vienna.

Michl.

Sure, here's the translation:

'PS:'

@Rainer:

I will continue to delve into this topic (oxygen sensor vs. soot) and perhaps I can eventually convince you with practical results that the opposite is true.

I'm really curious!
