Written by the company

A tuning box connects to the engine of a vehicle to improve performance and fuel economy. It’s the natural successor of the remap, an easily detected ECU tuning solution. TDI-Tuning write custom maps for every vehicle variant. These maps are then sent to the engine from a tuning box rather than writing them directly onto the engine ECU. The TDI-Tuning Box works for over 6000 engine configurations. Our customers have installed them on boats, tractors, and agricultural vehicles. Installing a TDI-Tuning Box takes less than 15 minutes in most scenarios. They come packaged with specific annotated instructions. If you still need help, our technical team are on hand Monday-Friday. Take a look at our blog posts here: https://tdi-tuning.com/en-gb/blog. You will find a vast collection of previous installs, customer feedback, and much more! We have been tuning cars for over 15 years now, constant technical development and advancements within the automotive industry keep our technical team working hard to improve future functionality and compatibility. Find your car today on our website using our vehicle finder. If you are in the UK, all you need to do is put your registration number in, we will do the rest.

I struggled to install the kit myself

I struggled to install the kit myself, so I messaged TDI and they were amazing - and offered to do it FoC if I could get to Chelmsford. Not saying they'll do this for everyone though!

Excellent power output and vastly improved mpg now; really worth the drive to Chelmsford AND the money I spent on the tuning kit.

Thanks again to all involved.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this great review! We’re really pleased to hear that you’re enjoying the performance and MPG improvements — and that the trip to Chelmsford was worth it.

It was our pleasure to help with the installation, and while we can’t always offer fitting free of charge, we’re glad we could assist in your case and get you up and running.

We’ll pass your thanks on to the team — and if you ever need anything else, you know where to find us.

Don’t waste your money on this garbage…

Don’t waste your money on this garbage product !!. I payed around £350 for a tuning box with bluetooth for audi s3 it felt a little quicker but not much . I decided to put it on a rolling road costing £200 and was shocked by the results . Torque had actually dropped 1 nm from stock and bhp had gained by 23 , nowhere near the 70 advertised .
Sent many emails upshot is no refund they just don’t care it’s false advertising will be reporting to trading standards . They actually tried to tell me audi had underpowered the car until i got a second rolling road before a PROPER remap which gave me brilliant results .

Hi Chris. Thank you for your review, Looking back through our communication i can see you had your vehicle remapped and then reported the issue giving us no way to get this resolved for you.

I am more then confident we could have resolved this and got the vehicle running as it should be with more information, You’ve referenced a dyno result showing a +23 bhp gain but did not provide a verified stock baseline dyno run from the same facility, under identical conditions. Without a valid before-and-after comparison, it's not technically sound to assess the module’s effectiveness or challenge the advertised figures.

The tuning module in question was purchased approximately 12 months ago. As per our clearly stated returns policy, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee from the date of purchase. No refund claim was made within this period. Unfortunately, we cannot accept return or refund requests outside of this warranty window

If you'd like to submit complete dyno documentation or discuss the matter further, our technical team is still available via our support channels.

Kind Regards

Thanks for the great review!

Really appreciate your kind words and continued support! Great to hear you're already feeling the difference with your new car — that’s exactly what we like to hear.

Sorry to hear ParcelForce didn’t quite meet expectations this time. While we aim to dispatch quickly and reliably, we’ll definitely pass the feedback on to them.

Thanks again for choosing us — and if you ever need anything else, just give us a shout!

All the best,

A little disappointed ☹️

When I was debating on buying a TDI tuning box oppose from a stage 1 remap I did a lot of research in to pros and cons of both. Value for money with the numbers quoted from TDI tuning made it a no brainer. Engine safe and vigorously tested. I took the plunge and bought it for my Cupra 300 ST. Maybe I was expecting too much? Easily fitted and off I went testing out the different modes. It’s fair to say I’m a little disappointed as I thought there would be a big noticeable improvement. I just couldn’t really feel a massive difference. I’m a bit let down but at the end of the day now I know. Probably a bit of a waste of £300 that I could have put towards a stage 1 remap. Don’t get me wrong TDI tunings concept is good but just not for me or what I expected :( if I could give 2.5 stars I would as I want to be fair but it’s just how I feel.

Hi Peter

Thank you for your review and sorry this is how you feel.

You do have a full 5 year warranty on your tuning module and a 30 day money back guarantee for what I can see you have not made any contact with us directly at all to get this resolved.

We would appreciate it if you contacted our technical team so they can resolve this issue for you.

Thanks, TDI Tuning

Faulty box

I ordered a box from them towards the end of 2024. Worked perfectly fine for quite a few months and was happy. After a while it stopped working. Contacted them but would only send a new part out which I no longer wanted as worried for any damage to the car. They don’t refund passed 30 days so just be aware.

Have contacted technical dept multiple times speaking to Jake, now getting no response.

Hi Bradley, Yes this is correct you have a 30 day money back guarantee on your tuning box, You do have a 5 year warranty that covers you on all map updates, Repairs or replacement if required.

Your order is 9 months old so a refund is not possible. If you wish to claim on your warranty please contact our technical department who will be happy to help get this resolved and back up and running as it should be for you.

Thanks, TDI Tuning

Once again 1st class Technical Support!

I have 3 vehicles with TDI Tuning Boxes installed. I also like to take the advantage of the fact that these can very easily be moved into sometimes very different vehicles any time once the correct loom and revised tune has been purchased. For example my Mercedes ML320CDI box is now on my BMW 328i with only a revised bluetooth tune download over the internet and the relevant loom purchased. The turnaround time these guys provide is incredible - purchased and delivered by DHL to me here in Australia within 4 days! The communication and support available from the team when I have any questions is of a standard I rarely experience anywhere, never mind in the automotive industry. Keep up the good work guys!

VW Transporter T6.1 (90Bhp) Bosch ECU

So after waiting, waiting and waiting for over 3 years for the Bosch ECU to be cracked on my VW Transporter for remapping I gave up and took the plunge to purchase the appropriate chip for my vehicle. After some back and forth emails to make sure I was completing the install correctly mission success. First test run completed to Skeg Vegas and the improvements were very noticeable in torque and smooth acceleration. Thanks to the team for all your support and patience.

Do not waste your money 💵

When I tried twice to install it I failed
I wrote to you asking for help and was told there was no refunds
The best you could do was reprogram the unit for a different vehicle
I have now paid a garage to install it and guess what it didn’t work
Complete waste of money

Excellent piece of kit

Excellent piece of kit, wiring up was relatively easy, although you will need to be mechanically minded to do this yourself, I had it wired up in 20 mins with no issues, instructions are clear with lots of photos for reference. You can have TDI wire up for you if you can’t understand the diagrams.

Drove around on map 4 for around 30 miles to allow the ECU to adjust then switched it to map 7.

Wow my car really does shift on map 7. Car in question is an Audi SQ5, map 7 is claimed at around 380bhp / 750nm I don’t know what it’s actually running at but it pins you to your seat, the torque it kicks out is insane, hits 60mph in around 4.5 secs. This 2 ton SUV will now give most cars a good run for their money with this box fitted.

Only little niggle I have is I don’t really think 7 different maps are necessary. Map 1, map 4 and map 7 is all I need. Can’t feel much difference between maps 1-2-3 and maps 6-7. Map 4 is a good balance very smooth, map 7 slightly jerky at times like it’s always raring to go.
