• Chipping TDIs in the UK by MikkiJayne on 18 Dec, 2007 07:40
• Hi all,
  
  Has anyone managed to get a TDI (1Z) chipped in the UK?
  
  I've contacted Upsolute's UK agent and they're not interested. I had a couple of emails from Jeff @ Rocketchip earlier in the year, but he's not responding any more  
  
  All I can find are companies who will do the PDs as they're nice and easy, but no one is interested in the TDI  :x
  
  I've got new nozzles on the way and I really want a chip to get the best from them  :cry:
  
  Thanks, Mikki x

• Have you tried aligator? he told me it'd be 150euro for the chips a couple of years ago.
  Only problem is you'd have to do a bank transfer and use an ecu with sockets, maybe the tune could include a clone of your existing ecu?

• Thanks, but I don't speak Polish and his site doesn't speak English    Are there any UK agents? I'm looking at tdituning.pl - is that right?
  
  Sockets are no problem as I'll have to do that whoever I go to.

• thats the right one, if you pm him on tdiclub he speaks english through there.
  
  i'm stuck for ideas other than custom tuning on a rolling road, but i imagine thats pretty expensive

  This of course is all performed through the OBD II Port (serial Port) so no ECU removal or chipping involved.

  
  
  = PD only. No one in the UK is interested in the TDI since you have to take the ECU apart  :roll:
  
  Mikrotuning are in #1 place at the moment, by virtue of having replied to my emails!

  Hi,
  emails are like a river and waterfall, once they pass they are gone, please resend.   You can receive chips in the post for your car, and install them yourself.

• have you Tryed Dragon Performance UK? im not sure if it is of any use or if you have already found a chip.
  But my dad had one of their performance chips on his Mk4 Golf made a substantial difference

• Thanks but it looks like they only deal with the mk4 onwards which can be remapped online. The TDIs need physical modification to the ECU (de-soldering the chips), and thats too hard for 'tuners' in the UK

• What is your ecu part number?  It may just require the chip/chips which means you could have them sent to you and you install if they are already socketed.
• #11 by MikkiJayne on 07 Jan, 2008 02:05
• The chips are soldered, but thats no problem as I can fit sockets myself.
  
  I have a couple of NA tuners in mind. It just depends who responds first with the info I'm asking for  :wink:
  
  Thanks!

  This probably isn't the right place to discuss specific vendors...

  Mikrotuning is part of the Aligator network I can also help with chips if you need. Have VAG-COM cables in stock for $15-20 ea. if you want to take engine logs to help get your tune optimized.
