There are so many options on the web I need some guidance on this one before I part with my cash.

The 2.0TDI CR used a Bosch EDC17 with protected Tricore processor. The EDC17 is a more advanced control unit over the older (easier to tune) edc16 control unit. With the EDC17 there are many more limiters and to correctly tune these you need to fully understand the control unit and all the maps.

We have done a large number of these and also done a 2.0TDI CR 180BiTurbo the other weeks with also custom tuning and removing the DPF filter.

With no hardware modifications and just a remap you will see 205bhp and 420Nm of torque on the 2.0TDI CR 170 model.

Yes its worth doing but if you really want to release more power you need to have the DPF removed as well.

Hope this helps
