Anyone tried tuning box?

Actually I'm in the middle of considering about it. Just that I concern they will have log report on the change of turbo pressure when sc plug in their computer for diagnose.

The OEM ones are like 2k so I think the actual cost wouldn't be far from it. Labour cost = 3k?  mad.gif

OEM cost 2,000
Labour 500
+
"You got no other alternative except from Nasim" cost

3,000

Total = 5,500

No prob. Its a good info.
Thousand of queries came into my mind too. Hehehe.
Those box will remap the ECU which for sure be recorded into  the log. Thus will tear off our warranty.

Agree with you. Will comsume more fuel to meet the instructions given from the ECU.

Cheers bro! smile.gif

Actually it's possible to increase horsepower by adding piggyback. It really depends on whether its set properly or not. Without increase turbo boost, if u fine tune the fuel supply and manipulate the ignition to higher setting, it will increase the response and gain more power. Normally increase turbo boost and fine tune fuel injection volume will have the most visible increase in horsepower. Any mismatch will cause engine knocking and piston burst.

Change to bigger turbo will enable u to set higher boost and better high rpm response.

amongst others ECU remap disables speed limiter and increase rev limit, piggy-backs don't. Simple.Technically, I don't see how these add-on "chips" can be as good as a remap. As far as I know some piggyback [if not all] just fool the injectors into over-fueling the engine.

Might increase performance, but can't be good for the engine in a long run - i.e they are at the cost of high emissions, higher engine temperatures, and general abuse of the engine. This may result in poor running, black smoke emitting from the exhaust, clogged injectors, rough idle, and engine cut-out... and could be one of the reasons for the infamous De-pollution Sensor Fault! )

Remap definitely better in term of respond time. But if you are not using it for racing, then should be not much different.

I know that de pollution is quite famous among 308t, that's why I'm still hold back with the mod... Haha...

The more u squeeze the engine for more power, the higher the temperature is. That's why need extra care on cooling system and engine oil.

I've my experience with my mod Japanese car, but this is the first time I drive the conti car. So, scare to koyak the engine as well tongue.gif

Same old issue. Yokohama problematic battery.
Waited an hour for technician.friendly guy and changed to delkor brand in 5 minute.

he even told me the passenger hinch may have a loosen screw which I checked and found what he said was true. He tighten up for me too. This is what I call work the extra mile. Got his name and shall write a recommemdation letter to peugeot tomorrow.

Guys, go check your door hinch (the black color one). I am pretty sure its loosen for most of the cars as he said it is normal, some manufacturer defect. That is why u will hear a click sound wjenever u open or close the door.

Good luck.

Mind to take pic where is the door hinch?

Get in Kesas Highway from Summit USJ, drive straight after RM2 tol, about 8km from there. R&R Awan Besar is on your left which you need to make a U turn in front. There is Shell and Caltex beside R&R Awan Besar.

Or...
Roll down your window and start smelling satay's smell to get directions. haha...  biggrin.gif

Jessyeo.... If I go from Sri petaling to summit direction using kesas, do I need to make u turn or not? I know that there's a famous kajang satay on the left without u turn...

Received call from peugeot just now. Turbo warranty has been approved by the french. Now, waitibg for parts to arrive which more or less takes another week.

I guess my email on 12.6.2013 did push them a little bit. Like the malay says : macam pahat, ketuk baru boleh.

Saw few 408 yesterday on kesas. Any bro here? I over took you.smile.gif
