MTM TCU, best $125 spent on my car.

[LIRS6]

The torque converter goes from regulating to locking SO much faster, ensuring that all of the power is in fact making it to the wheels as the car accelerates. When you let off the gas the TC tends to also stay engaged much longer, giving the feel the car is really in a gear like a manual would be.

How does that impact the life expectancy of the TC - is that harder on it, or does it not make a difference? Also, as you have a vag-com, does the chip show up on vag-com?

It will increase your TC's life.

Where did you send your TCU off to for the program?

[vangelis]

Good question, actually they qouted me a very high price, they told that is the cost where MTM in Germany gave to them!! Anyway I choosed the easier way to save the time and money as well.

First thing i will do once I drop my car in MTM tomorrow, so will ship it to Hoppen Motorsport tomorrow itself. Local MTM dealer in Dubai gave a very high quote (Very weird)!!. I'm going anyway to drop my car at MTM Dubai tomorrow for Timing & V belts job, engine mounts, IC check, TC & Valve Body will be sent to IPT for upgrade, getting the Master Rebuild Kit (seals, gaskets, filters, shifting bands, friction clutches and reaction plates) from IPT to rebuild the Trans locally here, returen to 365mm brake setup. Still thinking to do KW v3 installation, 20" RS6 C6 wheels at the same time also. Big job,HUH! Wish me luck.

how much is ipt chargeing for the vaulve body,tc and why are you going back to 365mm brakes did you not like the 390mm?

[DHall1]

he is not sending to IPT. Read the thread.

I asked Tozo to post up some of his prices and what gets done because we keep coming around to his services.

390 brake pieces were lost.

Dhall, who did you find to do your tip chip?

[DHall1]

MTM

I dont argue with proven results. Just about everything else but not proven results. When I get taxed thru the nose while city bus drivers earn 160k/yr to sit on their a$$. I get cranky. Dont mind me I have a RS6 and E55 out in the front garage.

[p3u]

I'm confused by your post, anyways I know you got the MTM chip I just meant where did you get yours.

Guys,

Just letting you know that VAST offer a custom tip program for our cars, they can make it shift as fast/firm as you like if you take them the car.

They will be setting mine up to allow me to run the standard MTM for normal driving and by flipping a switch while the car is off I can select what I can the RACE map.

Hope this helps.

Hope this helps

Now I really want to do this. I wonder if they'll do mine if I ship it from the UK.

Great to know, thanks!
