Double wrong icon_razz.gif icon_razz.gif

1. I didn't buy anything, I just took it for a test drive.

2. It also didn't have "Authal" printed on it.

Hello Ulf,
The vehicle registration was processed without any problems (but the technical inspection report indicates a lower engine output).

Initially, the input threshold was set lower than it is now, which resulted in a feeling of increased power because it delivered a more impactful sensation. The gas intake was surprisingly good, but unfortunately, so were the exhaust emissions and tire wear.
'I had the ECU reprogrammed in the summer, and the exhaust timing remained the same. Now it drives like the stock configuration, but with a higher power output starting at 1600 RPM. The engine runs much smoother. The extra power is now regulated later, when the turbo boost is already present.' The gas consumption is the same as the standard.

If you want to see a Screenshot of the programming software, check out OBD-Tuning (JetBooster4), it's the same. I don't know if the box has the same design as the HOPA.

Hello Ulf,

I've been using a Speedbuster BOX in my Ibiza ASZ for the past six months and 16,000 km.
and I am very satisfied, after some initial minor problems (which were resolved through software adjustments), although the exhaust noise at full load at lower RPMs is noticeably louder. Since the tuning, the car runs really well; you could say it's only been truly drivable since then icon_smile.gif. Power output was 140 HP before and 160 HP after the tuning (ULF test). I could potentially get another test done at the current mileage of 26,000 km, because the maximum speed has definitely increased since then.

Try a different tuning for the box, bro.

Best regards.


Timo.

Try a box with a different configuration, bro.

Okay, I will do that too.
