You ever end up doing anything with HP tuners Marty?? I have a 2002 GTI that I have enjoyed learning with.....and I bought a 2011 GTI for my son, which obviously means all of the interface/hardware for reading/writing my 2002 won’t work. I’m not terribly keen on the clone tools out there as it seems like there is a ton of negative stuff on here about them. Given that at this time all I really want to do with his car is reduce max engine rpm and max vehicle speed. I really can’t begin to justify thousands for a legit kess or ktag. Good grades and driving record = more HP
i have and personally i dont like it lol. unless you already own the mpvi2 thats $350 plus your licences (another $275) and thats only so you can edit that car and nothing else. (unless you buy more credits to unlock other cars) buy clone ktag it works fine for this gen car, i do many on a weekly basis without issue. ktag would require opening the ecu to get a read from it but it also gives you the ability to have a complete backup. nmax is the acronym for engine speed and vmax is for vehicle speed. if you have any further questions start a new thread topic in the flashing and chipping section or feel free to pm me. Also just to add if you wanna get another ecu from the same year and engine code i can make the changes to that for you and mail it back just pay for shipping.
