I would still like to see some rolling road figs for these kits. There seems such a paucity of information with respect to the V-max stuff. Glad you all seem pleased with it any how
Not a case of being dishonest, simply a case of going to a set of rollers that you know read favourabley.
I know of two rolling roads i could go to with any engine and get about a 15% difference between them, if i was selling engine chips i guess i would use the one that reads highest if i was trying to make sales.
I think the TUV is a good example of why you shouldnt ever buy anything designed for the german market, why have a chipset thats got to meet emissions tests that your car wont have to undergo in the uk etc?
Where are vmax chips programmed, is that another german company?
The results of EDS and V Max have all been proven to be down on there figures on numerous occasions. Yeah the manufacturers figs as Chip says are sales figures. The TUV would only worry about emissions etc, power output claims are irrelevant
Not 100% sure, but as I understand it, someting that is TUV approved has to do exactly what is claimed, so the power should have been tested and approved for TUV status.

The figure was higher than that MOFO lmao I even said at the time those figs were crap. The kits don't mention all the million and one other things you have to do to get the power. Ive said it before and i'll say it again, if you want relatively hassle free power get phase 1 or Phase 2 don't touch the rest
I agree with rds, phase 1 and 2 are great for the power increase, phase 3 and 3.5 seem a bit up and down!
I believe the vmax kits especially the evo 5 to be better that its eds equivalent, and not only boost and fueling is mapped but also the ignition on each of the power switch stages, someone put up back to back figures between evo 5 and phase 3.5 and the difference was big!! evo5 won in each test!
infact after i sold my phase 2 i tested phase 3 for a few weeks and hated it, the power was very inconsistent all over the place...
as for autronics, rob have u done a sub 13 sec qtr yet?
Well today ive orderd the evo 5 kit ... But not gtetting it untill i get back from holiyday.
