Well that’s good progress. Anyone know which SIMOS (12, 18, 18.1) ECU corresponds to which 1.8T Golf 7/7.5 vehicles?

I believe only the early 1.8ts had the 12. AFAIK the 4mo 1.8t has the 18.My 17 Alltrack is a Simos 18.
I guess only option is Maestro, but haven't seen enough info on here about it. I looked on the website and it only shows stage 1 tune. Nothing about custom tunes for the 1.8 although see some mention on here.
Any feedback from anyone tuned with Eurodyne? What tuner? Can you get a 93 tune and e30/e50 tune and just flat whatever you want when you want?
Different tunes (e30 and 93) and ability to flash at home would be nice to have, but might just end up at apr as in really more of set it and forget it type.
Are you 1.8 FWD? Not sure if ED/Maestro if available for FWD.
My Alltrack is running on Maestro. My car is self tuned. I'm going to guess most pro ED tuners don't have a good base map for the 1.8s. Maybe Moose does.
With Eurodyne, you get flash at home and adjustable timing and boost via slider. The 1.8 AWD cars don't have enough fuel pump to support e50, I doubt the FWD car does either. You can do E30 depending on boost. There is a eurodyne thread in the GTI section and a Maestro thread (not much there) in the R section.
What's maxed out? What are your settings and FOL? Are you using a downpipe? The stock ecu will adjust up to e30 safely, beyond that you can run lean without a proper tune. Also, are you fwd and DSG with the A3?I contacted UM and ECUTECK nothing for 1.8 fwd. ED does not have maestro for the platform either granted im an audi. Im just running a jb4 map 6 maxed out and seem to have enough pump for e50 but still testing but I am still is12. Looking at apr is38 tune and adding a meth map stack until support is out there
