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.

Great experience and equipment

Great online and email comms, simple install for Audi B8 S4 - two plugs and off you go. Bluetooth is excellent, can use the buttons I guess once set, but nice to adjust from 1-7 on the go to see the impacts. Delivered prompt, and have recommended and friend has bought and installed - nice product

Hi Richard

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear about the issues with your vehicle — we understand how frustrating and costly unexpected engine problems can be.

That said, we must clarify that our tuning products are designed and tested to operate safely within the limits of a well-maintained engine. While we acknowledge the timing of the failure may raise questions, correlation does not imply causation. There is no definitive evidence that links our tuner to the engine failure in your case.

We take customer feedback seriously and encourage you to contact our support team directly with any documentation or diagnostics you may have. We're happy to review the situation further and work with you toward a better understanding of what may have occurred.

Kind Regards

Bought a few items from this company over the years and no complaints. Easy to get on the phone or mail and respond quickly.
Blutooth app linked to their tuning box is a gamechanger, so simple straighforward and most of all reliable. MPG increased approx. 4-5 since fitting which is impressive considering the performance. Boost seems to surge occasionally on certain settings but it's all fun and wheel spin !

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.

All the best, TDI Tuning

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
