Title: Noob with an mk7 1.8t Post by: isthatagti on October 17, 2016, 06:55:55 PM I would like to get to tuning my 1.8t by myself and I want to learn how to do everything not just buy maps and such. I searched through the forums a little and didn't find anything on my 1.8t although I did find alot on the older 1.8t engines and I'm not sure if they are the same. I have the 1.8t EA888 engine. What computer programs would be best for me to learn on? Where should I look to find what I need for my car? Any help is greatly appreciated. If you know of a thread that is already made feel free to link it to me! Thanks all!

Are you sure? If you are asking such basic questions that you have asked, you will never in your lifetime accomplish this. I do not mean any offence, but you need to be more resourceful than that.

It´s not impossible but it will be a hard way. Good luck :) Title: Re: Re: Noob with an mk7 1.8t Post by: isthatagti on October 18, 2016, 08:42:42 AM To do what you want to do costs probably about half of your car's value in tools alone. I want to start getting into tuning as a career so I just want to learn the basics for now. Yeah I realize it's going to be some money but I'll get stuff over time.Are you sure?

other than read this forum and others I bet you can learn to tune your car in roughly 2 years. Assuming you spend 10 hours a day 6 days a week reading and learning. It will be awesome and jobs and girlfriends are for losers anyhow.

So bassically it's probably going to take a super long time if I learn the hard way. So getting maps is the way to go then?other than read this forum and others I bet you can learn to tune your car in roughly 2 years.

It's a good idea to start with a car that doesn't require an x kilobucks equipment to read/write. So if you're serious about taking this on as a career - IMO get some el cheapo ME7 equipped vehicle (preferably turbo, ofc) to practice your basics on. There's a ton of info for ME7 to get you started. Also get some proper book on ICE operation if you're shady on how it works internally.
