Re: Re-mapping AHU TDI
I would sort the turbo and boost issue before thinking about a remap. If full boost only arrives around 3,000 rpm, something isn't working as it should, and a map won't really fix that.

Re: Re-mapping AHU TDI
The good news was in another post.
I finally worked out that my wastegate valve was stuck so the truck was over-boosting and going into limp mode within a short distance of starting. I didnt realise that it was almost permanently in limp mode and thought it just wasnt designed to push a 4x4 syncro around.
Now its flippin' awesome and doesn't need a remap at all.

Re: Re-mapping AHU TDI
Late to it, but I got my AHU mapped by Malone tuning in Canada. I couldn't find anyone in the UK to do it. Basically they sent me chips that I then replaced myself. They also custom tuned it as I didn't want a off the shelf one as they tend to give you a slab of torque low down.
So I did get a slight bump in BHP (I have bigger injectors) but main goal for me was to limit any low down torque , so it doesn't start coming in til 2000rpm and I also told them my driving rpm is 2500-3200rpm.
