Unbelievable.
As far as the ECU guys I did expect some more power but not as much as I revieved. The ECU blew me away and I couldnt keep a smile off my face… For the TCU I expected quicker shifts and slightly greater acceleration…
Well, I am blown away, again. This is the complete package for auto guys. The ECU changed the car completely, gave it more power and you almost ask, what else could I ask for? The TCU tune is your answer. I really cant describe how it is. The shifts are so quick, and powerful it really makes you grin from ear to ear when you step on it. I NEVER thought the car could pull like this and shift the way it is right now. The videos they have of the rs4 and s4 tuned TCU’s give you an idea, but until you sit in the drivers seat and step on that pedal for yourself, you do not know what you were missing.
On that note, the ECU really woke up the car and felt the only thing holding you back was the long, momentum shifting shifts. BUT the car still was quick. I drove for about an hour yesterday with my girl and our new pup in the car and I could feel the car working together, just from a DD standpoint. It was great, but when I headed out, by myself. I let the car stretch her legs a little bit. The car pulls so damn hard, so much sooner than you expect it to.
I mean, without the TCU tuned before. You hit the gas, you feel the car down shift, you feel the power coming and carries you through the rpms until you/ it shifts. Then it almost restarts as the car takes a long, slow shift to lower rpms where the car then begins to pull after a “lay off” period. When you step on the gas, you get an instant surge of power. The car pulls so hard. When you carry through the rpms and hit the shifting point, the car “pops” into the next gear. There is no lay off what so ever. There is no power loss in between shifts, it is amazing.
The first thing I noticed is when I was driving normally, the downshifts. They are SO improved over stock. The car rev matches so much better which brings that power right to you. Before when you are in lets say 4th, you go to overtake a car, downshift into 3rd, car shhhiiiifftttsss and then kind of hickups into lower gear, sending you up and then back into your seat. Again, no lay off. You downshift, it immediatly shoots you into the back of your seat with heavy throttle.
Quick story, before the tune my little brother would ride with me and take him on a couple little runs and I would say, feel the car pull you into the seat… Hit the gas, start pulling, and out of being a smart ass. He would lean towards the air bag and he says “look I’m leaning forward its so slow” lmao but kind of true. Didnt take him out with the ECU but I took him for a 10 minute drive with both TCU and ECU. HAHA I got the last laugh, I asked him if he feels anything this time… WOOOTTTT his face turned kind of =0 and I went thru a few gears and came out to a red light. Looed over and asked, “how was that” he looked bakc like damn, its fast now. Launchedwhen it turned green and he about shit himself.
My tune review for this one is. You have to be knocked out to not notice the difference.
If you have an autobot, you need this tune.
If the ECU got you excited, pair it together with this and it will blow your mind.
ECU = Foreplay
TCU = Foreplay
ECU + TCU = Pure sex.
Looking forward to putting mine on in the near future to add some insight as well.
