Groupbuy for F48 TMC tuning box

Ed_rx7 · 09-28-2016, 11:56 AM

ok, the company i work for supplies these and i can get them at a cheaper price if we get the numbers.

Details on the box are here:

www.tmcmotorsport.com

I have these on two of my cars and I LOVE it.

Takes minutes to fit... and the app control is an added bonus but not essential if you wanna save some pennies

Have one on my F48 25D and it just transforms the the car......sooo much more power and torque throughout the rev range......making the car an utter road mucher!

I havent managed to do a dyno yet as dynos are few in the london area especially 4x4 ones.....

But on my other car it gave me an increase of over 38hp and 49ftlbs torque.

Never had warranty issues, never showed up once removed during service

( unfortunately i cant find the dyno for the audi.... so possibly irrelevant but just illustrating what ive experienced )

so if we can get 4+ people

I can get the following:

for the APP controlled box £450 delivered (mainlaind uk) (retail £504)
for the manual box £400 delivered (mainland uk) (retail £456)

If we get more i can talk to Directors and see if we can get it abit cheaper

If anyone wants to try before they buy they are more than welcome to meet me at workplace in London......

IF fitting is required, i can fit for free no problem as i've done it on mine. However you gotta come to me.... Im in London.

Can also arrange for owners outside uk....must charge a little extra for shipping though

Ed_rx7 · 09-30-2016, 05:32 AM

Ed_rx7 · 09-30-2016, 11:59 AM

lol... north London

sasman1964 · 10-08-2016, 11:35 AM

I am interested...How hard is it to install?.. what installation instructions do you get?..

Ed_rx7 · 10-08-2016, 12:14 PM

You get full installation instructions

Shall we start a list then

1. Sasman1964
2.

sasman1964 · 10-09-2016, 07:09 AM

What are the Full instructions?.. Can i download them first?

Ed_rx7 · 10-09-2016, 07:46 AM

I think I have some on the desktop at work. I'll have a look..... if not they come with them anyway... worst case I can do a video ..... all you will need tools wise is a T25 torx

Ed_rx7 · 10-11-2016, 07:50 AM

What is the Torx tool needed for?...I need to know the instruction on how to fit it...I thought they were just plugin?

Ed_rx7 · 10-11-2016, 11:32 AM

they are just plug-in bud.... but you need to remove the engine cover to get to the plugs.

honestly that takes about 1 minute!

sasman1964 · 10-11-2016, 01:45 PM

Have you got any photos? of install?..I have took my engine cover off .. it was just a push fit? no need for Torx?...

Ed_rx7 · 10-11-2016, 02:41 PM

Pm me your email and I'll send you the instructions...
There are two engine covers essentially.... the outer cover is the push on one.... but there is another black plate under that which is held on with 3 torch bolts..... that's the one that covers three of the sensors that you need to plug into

sasman1964 · 10-18-2016, 10:27 AM

This is the boost sensor plug(Plug in the middle of photo) does anyone know how to unplug it?

Thanks

There does not seem to be any interest in a group buy..So i wont be waiting any longer ... I will be ordering 1 in the next day orso....

I have the Racechip Ultimate Connect and after driving over 300 miles..Not! very impressed.

Ed_rx7 · 10-31-2016, 06:26 PM

Oh man....... didn't you read up about racechip.... loads of bad reviews.......that's why I left it bud..... didn't want to take the risk...... very glad I didn't now..... can you get a refund?

If you are still interested in the TMC box pm me and I'll see what I can do for you

So sorry you in this position!

I just fitted a TMC box to the directors wife's New Range Rover sport..... thing bloody flies now.

So can you not feel any power increase at all from the Racechip box?

Ed_rx7 · 10-31-2016, 06:28 PM

Sent you a PM

sasman1964 · 11-01-2016, 12:22 PM

I did do a lot of research on the race chip !..

I downloaded lots of German reviews then spent ages translating them in to english...These were magazine reviews not just online reviews....

All the magazine reviews were very positive...

But when i have installed it i expect to feel a difference?...
It felt more jerky? in sport mode but when i did test with the VBOX there was no difference at all!!...I wasted a full tank of fuel to let the box learn the car....but still no difference....All i can think is that it is incompatible with this car..or it is faulty...
Well they have said i can send it back for a full refund. Which i have done ..So i am very happy that they will refund my money with no hassle..
