TeamGeorge, the way Shambles has done it sounds like the best way, but Shambles is a grandaddy with experience so he can safly use something like this for increased low end Torque. But if you are out for all out performance to impress or race. you are buying the wrong car mate.you see diesels were designed to be low reving hi Torque, they use extreamly high compression, the i30 is not that high compression at around 17.00.1 but with 19 pounds boost the dynamic compression will be high. so all this pressure up in the chamber pushs down on the piston and rods and on the lower end of the rods were they hold the crank sharft and it pushs down on the cranksharft itself. at medium rev's this is ok but as revs build up it will start to put more stress on things. you pump more fuel into a diesel thats going to be even more stress as this extra fuel has to be compressed ignited and burnt. at below 3,000 rev should be no problems, but if you start reving them to 5,000 all the time there could be a BANG.also we have to remember useing more power and Torque will put more wear and tear on the clutch gearbox & drive train.I have not read the fine print, but i would expect the warranty to cover broke parts but, warn out parts could be classed as normal wear and i don't think that could be claimed under warranty. like if my brake pads wear out i would not expect Hyundai to give me new one's or if tyres wear out or so on.i'm just explaining all this to you so you understand.i have driven my i30 18,000k now i have noticed the????? ( hard to describe but it's what shambles talked about) but i just put it down as normal state of tune to get by stringent imissions, and it does not really worry me overly, the car is still great fun to drive and as i'm in 5 gear more than i'm in 1st gear i never really notice, plus if i'm in traffic i just drive it like i would drive a large truck i use first and ease out the clutch so no flat spot at all that way as the ECU also controls engine speed as its fly by wire.i could ramble on all day
I removed the tuningbox last night it's like driving through treacle by comparison
New chromes fitted - £0Being waited on hand and foot - £0Tuningbox refitted, the grin on my face - £priceless :o
well Steve, i have not seen ......
have you seen what they look like with chrome covers removed?
what was the problem with the chrome?

Quote from: "Shambles"I removed the tuningbox last night .... Just been to the local shop and it's like driving through treacle by comparison Hi Shambles, I'm very interested in following your lead and trying this out. Have you had a chance to check for smoke? It might need an assistant to verify that she is blowing clean.My brief look into the subject of chipping suggests that some units only dial up the fuel and that this can make the car more prone to smoking.Do you know whether the ASA unit you bought is a basic type (fuel-only) or more sophisticated fuel-and-timing control like the DPchip?
Is this useful only for diesel engines? Is there an equivalent for Petrol engines?
For those of you that have a Scangauge, just a friendly reminder to keep a close eye on your post intercooler air temps.Those without a Scangauge, I'd advise you grab one if you are going to fit one of these tuning boxes.
i've had a problem with the scangauge Thumper and don't think i would risk useing one on my car again, although they will replace mine free.also i can't see how that tuning box will effect intercooler temps, as when i had my scangauge on my car i saw how when the Turbo Boost went up and you drove useing a lot of boost the intercooler temps went up especially if you climb a lot of hills. but this tuning box just increases fuel not turbo boost.just how i see it.
