jamiebridge Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Hello, I am booking my 2004 DE into TDI to get an uprev, I am wanting to get the pops and bangs add on. However TDI have told me that on my early ECU (even with the larger cruise control ECU) it is mappable, but not switchable. SO my options are: 1. Get an uprev with non-switchable pops and bangs. 2. Get a 2006 revup ECU, Get it fitted and get the switchable maps uprev, how easy is this? Is it going to cost me small fortune? My Questions: If i opt for 1. pops and bangs constantly mapped in, how often does it pop and bang? Is it going to start doing my head in after a few weeks? If it only pops and bangs every so often / driving in a certain way, im comfortable with that. I'm assuming pops and bangs is an add on? It's doesn't affect the performance on the uprev map? (Be kind, I'm new to mapping). If I decide to get a new ecu, get it fitted ect, how easy is this? Is it going to cost me small fortune? Quote
StevoD Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Can you use an uprev ECU with a non uprev engine/harness? Quote
jamiebridge Posted May 9, 2017 Author Posted May 9, 2017 It looks to be possible, i think it will need mapping to the engine or something? Im new to this, but I was told it was an option. Quote
Hayd350 Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 In order to create the pops and crackles it relies on slight dipping of the accelerator pedal so if you get a bit sick of it just don't do it. It'll happen naturally a bit but not to the extent that it's going to wind you up. I've had mine mapped in on my HR and although switchable I'm constantly in the "pop and bang" map. As i said it's more of a crackle, you're not going to wind up with an ASBO 2 Quote

Randy_Baton Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Probably worth dropping a PM to Mark@Abbey. He'll be able to confirm for sure. Quote

For anyone in the future I just received this from TDI: "Ive just spoken to Mark at Abbey and he said they just keep it on all the time on the older DE but only over 2500rpm so happy to do that if you are happy to live with it" 1 Quote
Colin747 Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 The "pops and bangs" aren't as loud and intrusive as you think. I don't think I've noticed mine with daily driving at all, I've a '03 DE. 1 Quote
MikeyM Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Interesting to have read this... I have an 05 DE and I was hoping to have it remapped and have a switchable map to allow for driving on normal unleaded when it's all I can get .. but it looks like with my age of car that's not going to be possible then ?

Someone correct me if im wrong but if your 05 is a track or anniversary model it will have the revup ecu which they can do switchable maps on. But if its just a standard model then no switchable maps. Quote

ASemper Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Got permanent pops and bangs on my DE. I personally love it. Slightly pressing the throttle between 2-4k rpm activates it. Driving normally they are quiet and non intrusive and you can choose not to ever do them if you are sensible. If you rev match or heel and toe into 4krpm and tap the throttle it makes a nice bang (eg. Downshift into 2nd at approx 40mph). Also you can hold the throttle in the right position between 2-4k rpm and it will continue to activate non stop near enough. I'm better at them now but this is a vid I made the day after I got them. Think around 1.30 they start. Excuse the poor audio Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Sounds good mate and very childish cant wait to see what they sound like on my decatted Nismo system 1 Quote

I have a lot of silencers/resonators so I assume a straighter through system could sound a fair bit different. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote

Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk When I finally get mine done Ill try and get a decent video of it. At the moment she has not been mapped at all and she pops and crackles nicely when the exhaust is hot so hoping it will sound even better afterwards. The Nismo system has just 1 silencer so again hoping it will stand out like yours 1 Quote
jamiebridge Posted May 14, 2017 Author Posted May 14, 2017 I will also try and get a video with my setup once its done. Quote
ASemper Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 I too shall make another vid now I know how to do them better/make more people think I am an idiot Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote
Beefy Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 It it only TDI that can do this map or can Abbey/H-Dev also work this into the map? Quote
