PDTuning

[Aaron_RJ]

I have my own part time business specializing in automotive tuning and have been remapping for a while however after a few disputes with my previous mapping company i seeked anew. After a long conversation with Dave @PDTuning. I am now using PDTuning for my map supplies

The previous map I had on my car was overfuelling far to much and even fueling on overrun. Not a great idea for a TFSI or any car.
 I carried out some data logging along with Dave checking the map file the boost was cranked up and overfuelling to compensate for the high exhaust temperatures! Using -6,-7 ignition when still fuelling.

After Dave creating me a individual stage 2 map for the modifications to my car and roadtesting along with some datalogging the car is now much smoother and the power is much more progressive than before a top quality map  

I went to london and back monday and on the way home with some mixed driving mainly averaging 75-80 mph I achieved a very impressive MPG average

 

Dave is a very helpful chap who has put a lot of time into helping me with questions I have had a top bloke

Thanks for those kind words Aaron, glad you are happy with the end product, even if it did take a couple of attempts to get it right.

Aarons case is a perfect example of how much better a car can be with the right map, his original map was very very odd, structure was indicative of a diesel tuner trying to map a turbo petrol "exhaust temps are high, lets add lots of fuel to cool things down"  when infact it was the ignition timing being -7 degrees retarded and the boost being 'turned up to 11' that was causing high exhaust gas temps.

Improved MPG is a side effect of optimising low throttle boost and ignition timing making the throttle a lot more responsive, changes in road and traffic conditions on a run require a lot less input on the throttle by the driver which causes the driver to moderate the throttle pedal movement which leads to less wasted fuel that a blunt feeling throttle can cause.

I think some dyno testing and a bit more data logging would be beneficial as well, but the main thing you now have a safe map on the car

How did you manage 39MPG

I could get similar on a run from my old K03 GTi with our stage 1 map, admittedly you do need to be pedal concious and read road conditions carefully.

yeah more logging to do going for a RR session soon just to see what the car is making

I've also had some recent dealings with PDT Dave over the last couple of months and can only echo the positive comments made by the original post.
If anything he is almost too helpful in terms of spending time on the phone and his first hand knowledge of what is possible with my car (an Ed30) has made me spend some cash under the bonnet..with plans being hatched for further upgrades.
*Twintercooler GB anyone??*

I'm not just on the "slippery slope" now - I'm on a Skeleton-Bob thundering head first down said modding slope.
Even at my current mild level of tuning, Stage 1 Revo, Autotech pump, Dbilas intake and Milltek DP & Cat, the car is tremendous to drive.
The intake and downpipe were only fitted there today (cheers Dave & Danny) and I really like this component combo already.   

BTW Having heard Dave's mobile ring about 40 times today, just in the time I was there, i think I'll get him by email from now on. Cause that guy is busy..
As they say on that well known auction site, "would recommend and would use again".

Downhill, very strong wind and a fast lorry to slipstream on the way
