A friend came over he just bought a used 2004 Skoda Octavia 1.8t RS 180ps and it has an ABT tune (as the ABT stickers and psychotic service manual of the previous owner suggest)
This car allegedly outputs 210ps now on the dyno. There is a dyno sheet in the glove box.... Also this car has two error codes appearing once every week or so (EGR and boost valve)

-So i read this cars ECU and its tuned file, with KESS after switching on and off the key numerous times as per the kess instructions i got a 1024kb file....
-ECU INFO HW: 0261207440 SW: 1037363908  Engine: 1.8L R4/5VT SW upg.: 06A906032HN 0002 CHASSIS: 1U5 5MT MOTOR: AUQ 180PS
- Wouldn't open with winols so i had to edit out the NOREAD injected text with another binary editing program.
- Downloaded a DAMOS file, wouldnt open with demo winols from their website, had to download an illegal old one i guess....
- So i compare a stock file and the ABT tuned file and the differences are....
1) KFMIRL is changed on the last two load rows a little bit....
2) NMAX to 7314
3) NMAXDV 7306,750
4) KFMLDMX  raised last two HPA 900 and 1100 loads after 2250rpm
5) KFLDRL lowered last load row after 1750rpm
6) KFLDHBN all the map maxxed out
7) LDRXN raised a lot after 1500rpm
LDRXNZK same as the previous one
9) KFDLULS maxxed out whole map maxxed out to 1275

So can anyone explain what did they do here ? As far as i understand they didnt change AFR fuel target and Igntiion advance at all.....
The only map im guessing from searching for these acronyms that enabled the car to overboost 1.2bar and fall to 1.0bar is the KFMIRL and the LDRXN and the rest are  just limiter maps  ? (LDRXN is kidna also as a limiter)

Is tuning so easy with a stock k03 turbo ? That was so anticlimatctic for me since i come from aftermarket ECU tuning background....

S4wiki answers all of these questions.

I do find it interesting to observe such tunes (but it's a bad starting point for a beginner), and try to understand the changes. Even though, after a while i've come to the conclusion some changes really don't make any sense.

It is almost as if you didn't bother reading my post.


100% bullshit. Bad tuning is bad tuning, end of story. There are a ton of hacks out there *because* people are clueless about how stuff works and blindly copy shit.


Nowhere. You're wasting your time and everyone elses.

If you want answers, post a log, not a binary. There is a reason posting binaries is useless. Go back and read my post, again.

Nyan said they relocated maps, not me, i compared a stock file with the ABT file on the car. I didnt see anything drastically moved in the whole file.
 Only two bytes changed were not in the DAMOS.... And the rest was what i mentioned.

Fun fact. My friend and his brother went and tuned their cars (one Seat ibiza FR and one Seat Leon) tuner company's name was literally e*****s
 both with K04 turbo and 630cc injectors.no map sensor mods. Both were finished within half a day on a dyno.
 Leon went for. 1.55bar overboost with 1.5 steady boost. Put down 290.2ps with 432nm
 And the ibiza FR 276.4pswith 396nm overboost 1.5 with 1.35 steady boost....

I didnt have time to check their new files due to the covid curfew and they had to leave for a 2 hour trip.
 Previous tuner on one of the car was not good so he saw these improvements on cold start and immediate cranking correct trip computer calculations and i think a little better boost control.

Every idiot could easily remove the limiters and reach maximum boost
The key is to made it safely to engine with smooth driving not only on WOT but at wide range of conditions (iat, altitude, cruising etc)
Id highly recommend you to check those "tunes" just as example of bs tune
