Who doesn't know the VW Golf? It is one of the most famous cars in the world, and not just in Italy and Europe. It is a mid-size car that has been able to win over sportsmen, family fathers, entrepreneurs, salesmen, new drivers, and the elderly. In short, it is a multifaceted and versatile car that has consistently been available with lots of engines to fit any need, from small gasoline engines to small turbodiesels up to powerful V6

In order to be able to generate the tuning results that some manufacturers of these devices claim are possible, i.e., increasing engine power and torque and, at the same time, reducing diesel (if it is a diesel engine) or gasoline (if it is an Otto cycle engine) consumption, the smart chip tuning module should perform these operations...

The 1 Series were born with common-rails and have been tuned by us thousands of times, both in Italy (where we manufacture) and abroad. The most tuned engines with our CHIPBOX ECUs in the early years were the 16-valve 2-liter common-rails, especially those with 163hp. In the years following the early versions, other power ratings of the 2-liter turbodiesels were introduced right up to the very frequently tuned bi-turbodiesel version.

As a result of the architecture and operation of electric engines, they do not need to have a minimum RPM. Furthermore, they can deliver maximum torque even at zero RPM, practically from a standstill! Sounds strange, doesn't it? Yet it is, and to understand it, we need to know how an electric motor works for automotive purposes, which in many ways is not very different from an electric RC model engine.

One of the main factors that make it possible for many people to reduce their fuel consumption is that the chip tuners increase torque in almost all cases, even at low engine speeds. On average, this allows greater use of the high gears of the transmission, especially in a manual car, where the driver makes use of the gearbox with this intent.
