Considering Polo Gti or Golf Tsi.......... what u guys think ??

For that price range, Audi A4 1.8T is an option too. In fact, it's slightly cheaper.
Although spec wise the Passat CC is better, remapping the A4 could make it better than Passat CC 
Plus, A4 makes you look younger too 

typical...want to drive twincharged car..but complain about FC.

You want to keep good FC? u will have to keep in the sweet spot of 2500-3500rpm, after that the turbo will kick in and your FC goes to hell

Dun start/stop, brake well in advance if u see traffic slowing down ahead, coast and then smoothly accelerate again

try for 1 week....make sure u do not pass 3500-3800rpm, always be in 7th gear and NO overtaking/braking/aggressive maneuvers

and btw..if u are a smooth driver should use ron97, the fuel savings can offset the cost of the more expensive petrol and u get a better drive

FC is almost always due to the right foot of driver, very rare to be the vehicles problem

hey guys..

would it be worth it to get mk5 rims over mk6? mate of mine says he'll let it go for 1.5k but tyres old one la.

what's the difference between mk5 and mk6 rims anyway...it looks the same to my untrained eye lol

Now where to go to get this remap done?

Bro Mavik,

You might wanna check this out:

The Tuning Box

Planning to get one soon 

Yeah I saw this on the VAGSG forums as well but the key difference is that:

1) TMC Tuning Box have to get it in SG (additional cost there)
2) Any additional issues or problems with it, you need to go all the way to SG to get it fixed (of course if you are from JB then its no biggie ) as compared to the Racing box thingy which the distributor is in Shah Alam.

Any idea how much is the TMC Tuning Box?

Both are from Germany and TUV certified and both comes with the original manufacturer's plug so no issues there.

Only thing is that if the VW ECU data logger will be able to detect this the moment you plug it in. I have asked the distributor for the other box but no response yet.

Yeah, I have read quite a fair bit about the Tuning Boxes from the overseas forums as well especially for VAG cars. A lot of them still stick to remaps but the majority of those who go for tuning boxes are usually those running on diesel engines. But yeah, pricewise, the tuning boxes are definitely cheap.

Some stuff also to note about tuning boxes
- How do we claim warranty in the event the box dies? Go all the way to SG/Germany/Distributor to refund for it?
- Do they provide any guarantee on the car?

Personally when it comes to tweaking your fuel/air ratio and injection timings, I believe every car is different (heck look at the GT-R where the engine for each GT-R is different mainly because of its complex process) and I don't believe there is a one size fits all. Not willing to risk the engine on it yet, if I were to risk it, will make sure the risk is worthwhile

True, guess I'll be enjoying my stock ride for the time being.
The myth is all about it being detectable by the sc affecting warranty claim.
If a tuning box is so called not detectable and reversible, then it's worth the penny since it is cheaper comparing to an ECU remap.
If it's detectable even after removing, then we might as well go for a stage 1 remap.
Stressing the engine and transmission is quite subjective and it's depending on ur day to day driving attitude/style.
Remapping and tuning box helps to save fuel at times and at least they claim that they will, also it depends on how you drive.

Haha! True, but come to think of the fuel price, when you tend to drive slow it helps you save fuel 
So it's like 1 stone hitting 2 birds  When you need performance u have it, when you want to save fuel you can

Wow bro, ur VAGCOM can only detect errors? Or does it clear errors as well?

Actually I have the VAGCOM already, just waiting for someone with a tuning box willing to do a test so can see if there are any error codes generated with it
