gadgety thing of awesomness

yeh thats a poor title but its the only way i can some up this awesome little gizmo. Anyone who picked up performance vw last month i think will know about the little computer thingy you can buy to slot into your air vent. It works on all 1.8T applications. My mate bought one for his S3 and brung it out tonight too have a play about. Turns out the thing can dyno your car and everything! I know its probably not 100% accurate but it still managed to put a smile on my face.

If you dont know about it id like to say i have a picture of the contraption but i dont... cant seem to find it on the net as i have no idea what its called. Partly why im putting this post up is too see if anyone can give me a link so i know where to purchase one as and when i actually get some money together. All i know thus far is it costs about 170 quid for the ut alone and a bit more with the vent surround if you send your old vent to them.

Heres a poor quality phone pic of my dyno graph in the gti. Only mods i have are a forge 007p diverter valve and a pipercross panel filter and i achieved:


If its accurate then im quite chuffed my little mods have seen that slight increase \\We also plugged it into my mates mk4 golf 150bhp 1.8T and he got a score of 143 bhp. He was not amused lol. Anyone else had a play about with one of these things??

nice bit of kit mate looks cool, i think whitepolo posted something like this on here with a website, it was for a audi tt tho.

how do you plug it in to each vehicle?

Yeh this one was for an S3 but like i say it works on all 1.8T applications!

It just plugs into your VAGCOM slot under the dash and away it goes. Proper awesome bit of kit. Im seeing my mate again on tuesday, i think, so ill try and get the website then so i can have a browse and linky some interesting bits.

You can get the iPhone to do it with something called 'Rev', it communicates wirelessly with a mini OBD vagcom wireless adaptor you plug into your diagnostics port - brings up bhp/torque curves, tells you your boost, your immediate mpg, revs, speed, etc. Looks pretty cool!

Thats pretty awesome too!

Though i cant stand touch screen phones otherwse id probably get one. Theyre so much slower... pointless technology in my opinion! Though pretty nifty they are i will admit.
