HELP SUPPORT THE CHANNEL BY USING THE FOLLOW LINKS AND PROMO CODE FOR YOUR PURCHASES!!! - APR: www.goapr.com/? - TUNEZILLA (SAVE 15%): Promo Code "VANCITYAUDI" at tunezilla.com/ Confused as to why some companies didn't choose to participate? Here is a quick breakdown for you on why: Integrated Engineering: They don't currently make tunes for the Mk8 platform, so they were physically unable to participate. RacingLine: They didn't have enough validations, testing, and analysis done on my box code, on the Mk8 GTI to feel comfortable with participating in this comparison. EQT: They asked to participate 2 days prior to filming, but they required that as soon as I was done testing, I had to return all of their hardware and software. I would not agree to that, seeing as it would be a different arrangement than I have with the rest of the companies participating, and that wouldn't be fair to them.

@MRDARRENGER 6 месяцев назад

Too bad about EQT. Should have agreed anyway. Oh well... 🤷

@VancityAudi 6 месяцев назад

@MRDARRENGER and why should I have agreed to something that none of the other companies asked for? How is that fair? The entire concept of the Tuner Battle is about giving every company the same treatment. EQT asked to be treated differently.

@jaxxone4907 5 месяцев назад

@@VancityAudi out of all the tuning companies mentioned ,Eqt is the only company tuning through another 3rd party (cobb) . So i found it pretty reasonable for them to ask for cobb ap to be returned back. Every other company tuning dongle costs pennies, cobb ap is expensive, so yes i wish you would have agreed with their demands and see how they compare to other tuning companies

@VancityAudi 5 месяцев назад

@jaxxone4907 Again, I state, why should I allow one company to compete and not follow the same guidelines as everyone else? EQT is not a poor and destitute company. The cost of a single piece of Cobb hardware as well as their software is pennies compared to what they are to gain if they come out on top, and a bunch of people purchase their software because of this Tuner Battle. The offer still stands... if they want to play by the exact same rules as everyone else they are more than welcome to participate. I'd love to see for myself if they're as good as so many others claim they are!

I really hope people understand that you gradually ramped in torque to reduce shock to the drivetrain/engine. And keeping less shock into the engine frees the engine up to make more top end because your EGTs are low by “giving up peak bottom power”. I tune the same way :-).

Great video, United Motorsport no surprise there. I've owned UM and they will feel great and will provide great numbers at the track. For my DD I normally use a tune like APR - not the most power but they have some pretty safe limits. Good info to help people make their their choice on tuning; in some way selecting a local tuning shop that supports your tune is nice to have. I'm definitely going to look into 034 for my future VW tunes. It's too bad IE and RacingLine didn't join the group.

@user-so8gs9ke1x 5 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for this comparison! Great content as always. Question though- why do you think there's that torque oscillation going on in the midrange in some of these tunes? Is it an airflow thing, flueling, or a torque management thing from the TCU approaching limits with it still being a locked TCU? Thanks again!

@VancityAudi 5 месяцев назад

I think it's multiple things depending on which tune you're looking at. Some are due to octane restrictions. Some are due to the possible torque limitation. Some might be due to the exhaust valve lift kicking in.

@tompkain7676 6 месяцев назад

I have been running 034’s Stg 2 E85 files and have made 373whp and 433wtq but with how beautiful that graph was I just had to go inquire to see if UM could work some magic. Side note, I have UM E85 on my MkIV R32 and it feels as smooth as that graph looked.

Hey Adam. Great content and you steered my decision about software selection. Here in my country only APR and 034 are available in your list. I followed your suggestion and selected 034 91 reduced torq. File. Here you read REAL LIFE EXPERINCE: First of all mapping and switching is so easy that is great. It works smooth as you explain. BUT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MAP. I am not the one who experience it though. Sometimes it gives an error message calls UNDERBOOST error. I experience it when the weather is cold. How much cold you may ask; last week it was 5 degree in Turkey and ı couldt drive it. Whenever I needed power and boost from low rpm to high, it gave that error message. This week it is 15-20 degrees and I havent experienced any issue yet. I watched other guys videos and comments about the software. There are other guys like me. Long story short, this must be solved but support process is very slow. İt has been more than a week since I first reported the issue. But there is no update yet :(

I absolutely disagree. Displaying crank or brake horsepower from a dyno makes worse sense. You're using the dyno to assume the drivetrain loss which varies greatly in-between vehicles. I would MUCH rather have a pure horsepower rating at the wheels and not have the dyno calculate what it thinks it makes at the crank.

Sadly this is a American trend difficult to escape.

@@VancityAudi first of all, because letters don't pass intention, I'm have nothing against you and none of this is been said in a bad matter 😉 but let me explain, our dynos here in Europe the ones I work with have a meteo station that reads temps, air pressure etc to use in the dyno runs calculated power. We dyno the same way but when the car gets to end of rpm we de clutch go to neutral and allow the dyno in the declaration fase to read the losses. Then all adds up to calculated crank power that is far more precise then all the different whp from different dynos as you very good explained.

He requested to keep the Cobb AP after the test (in the name of keeping the test equal since he was keeping the hardware from other companies) and EQT wanted it returned (bc the Cobb AP is much more expensive than the UniConnect cable, for example). The two parties couldn’t get past that disagreement. It sucks, but I’m sure they’ll be able to work something out when (and if) this video is remade after the xx401 is cracked and the full torque files can be tested.

@dylandunlop2644 these videos will not be remade once the 401 bootloader is cracked.

Dynos don’t READ crank/wheel/brake horsepower. They MEASURE force (torque) and they CALCULATE horsepower.

LOL, thank you for correcting my choice of words. With that said, it makes no difference to the general public that are learning what they can from this video.

@@VancityAudiHopefully, they would learn that the hp variance between the dyno results occurs mostly from a mathematical computation and it isn’t a true measured difference. I’m ignoring tires, tire pressure, and like way down in the weeds stuff.

@@BrodeyDoverosx You're giving WAY too much credit to the general population that watches my videos, lol. Layman's terms are best. Once you get too detailed you lose people and what you're suggesting would absolutely lose people, haha.

@VancityAudi 6 месяцев назад

Yes, seriously. With as much ignorance as I've seen in the Mk8 community, I wanted to provide as much detailed information as I could. That way, not only am I showing people what the software I tested can do, I'm also educating those that are new to understanding cars.

The only way to make such a drastic increase in power vs the other tunes is to either run more boost or more timing. There is no magic to be found in these motors. Considering we are talking UM here and having seen plenty of logs of their tunes it can be readily inferred that they cranked up the timing and numbed the sensors so it wouldn't knock. Same old UM, nothing has changed. They don't care about your motor or turbo. I feel bad for people who watch this and think "Yeah, I'll go with UM."

@VancityAudi 6 месяцев назад

Sounds more like you've had a bad experience using UM than actually speaking the truth of what I experienced on my car. I reviewed the logs of every single tune I used. What you're saying is not the case.

How's 10 to 15hp a drastic increase 🤔. That's like 1 to 2psi of boost and 1 degree of timing lol.

@dirk5950 6 месяцев назад

@@wesleykuntz4222 There's a 30ft lb spread at 4500rpm compared to the other two tuners. You think they found that in some cam timing or some shit? Yeah, ok.

@dirk5950 6 месяцев назад

@@VancityAudi Reviewing logs isn't the same as tuning. I've tuned quite a few EA888s. These cars really don't like a ton of low end timing on low/no ethanol pump gas. Considering all the tunes you just dyno'd the UM results should have you questioning, not praising.
