The ultimate alternative to a permanent ECU tune, ChipWerke piggyback tuning module is the best plug-and-play performance upgrade for the MK7 Golf 1.8 TSI. It connects to the EA888 engine’s intake manifold pressure and boost pressure sensors with OEM-quality plugs, recalibrates the sensor readings, and increases the boost pressure. ChipWerke’s Stage 1 tune delivers 30 HP over stock, and a custom Stage 2 tune is available upon request to be used with supporting mods, delivering up to 35% more power. ChipWerke does not overwrite the ECU or leave diagnostic flags. It comes with a two-year product warranty and extensive US-based customer support.

ChipWerke comes with two years of manufacturer’s warranty and extensive USA-based after-sales support for total peace of mind.

HOW DOES CHIPWERKE PIGGYBACK MODULE WORK

ChipWerke intercepts the factory harness to alter the stock signal from the intake manifold pressure and boost pressure sensors in the 1.8 TSI engine. It recalibrates the signal with vehicle-specific software and removes all factory restrictions for improved boost pressure. The best alternative to a permanent ECU reflash, the ChipWerke piggyback tuning module delivers instant results with no major overhaul.

ChipWerke works alongside the factory ECU and makes no changes, retaining OEM driveability and reliability. All the factory safety parameters stay intact. The ChipWerke’s tune can be adjusted with seven preset levels (-3 to +3) easily via the mobile app to optimize the power increase for your driving style, varying fuel quality, or altitude changes.

EASY PLUG-AND-PLAY INSTALL

The ChipWerke piggyback tuning module connects to the MK7 VW Golf 1.8 TSI’s 4-pin intake manifold pressure sensor found at the top front area; and to the 4-pin boost pressure sensor at the pressure pipe in front of the engine. It connects with top-quality plugs, so no wire splicing, cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications are required. The guide included in the package shows specific installation instructions for your vehicle.

The basic things to consider in all applications are as follows:

Turn off the engine and wait for it to cool down. Leave the driver’s door open for 15 minutes while keeping the keyfob at least 35 feet away from the car to ensure the ECU shuts down completely.
Locate where you want to mount the module. Make sure that it is away from the areas that tend to heat up relatively more.
Make sure the ChipWerke harness is not overly stretched and is protected against water.
Make sure that plugs are securely connected in place and that there are no unused plugs left.

CONTROL BY MOBILE APP

You can download and install ChipWerke’s free mobile app from Apple AppStore and Google Play Store. After pairing your unit via Bluetooth, you can control the ChipWerke wirelessly and make adjustments on the go. The app's easy-to-use interface lets you wirelessly fine-tune the boost pressure with ChipWerke’s different levels (-3 to +3), add multiple units and control them from under one roof, check and download software updates, and reach out to us for live support.
