Shark Performance to release the STS - Self Tuning System

[shark_90]

Take control of your tuning with the Shark Performance Self Tuning System.

The new STS is a useful handheld device designed to give you control of your tuning. The STS allows you to switch between your standard and modified ECU map in minutes, and thanks to the intuitive user interface it is simple to use. Also included with the STS unit is an immobiliser function which will stop the engine from running, meaning the car cannot be driven even with the keys!

Why would the STS be good for you?

• No need to travel to us - tune your car yourself at your convenience, day or night, anywhere in the world
• Map switching - return your car to standard in minutes, handy for servicing, warranty work, or if you are allowing someone else use of the car
• Immobilisation - stop your car from being used even with the keys, handy if you are going away on holiday for example
• Built-in Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) reader - read and clear fault codes yourself which could save you £££ at the dealer
• Return your car back to standard when you sell it and re-use the unit on your next car at a reduced cost

The STS is suitable for a wide range of vehicles including all of the Audi/VW/Seat/Skoda turbocharged petrol and diesel range with the exception of the new TSi and CR engines. We are able to cater for these vehicles at our base in Mansfield but at this time cannot offer a switchable solution. These are being worked on now and will be released shortly. It also caters for many other brands including BMW, Mercedes, Alfa Romeo, Range Rover etc.

The STS is available at a special introductory price of £399+P&P and launches on the 1st November. Pre-order yours NOW by calling 0871 2211 281 or emailing us.

Hi, I'm new to the forum and recently picked up a nice A3 1.8T yr 2000 AUM DBW.

I'd like to get the Shark STS going, can I do this without having to come to you if so what's the cost at the moment and when can I get it?!

I am looking to get a switchable map as I travel c.100miles a day and would like to not lose economy on the week but be able to max it out at weekends. It's a standard car except for a performance panel air filter...

Let me know..

welcome to TSN Hammer, I'm sure Le Shark will be along shorty to advise

[Tipex]

Having been educated about how this mapping stuff works by Shark while driving half way across Europe, I'm not sure you'll want to take it off for your 100 mile daily commute, as you may find the car is actually more efficient with the new map!

Anyway, I'm sure ben will be along shortly.

The STS is a unit that's sent out to you, so yes, you can apply the remap without needing to visit Ben, which is one of the great things about it.

Like Tipex says, though - I'd leave the map on, rather than taking in on and off - you'll get better economy with the remap.

Pricing info is on Shark Performance - Volkswagen Audi Seat Skoda Mercedes BMW Ford Renault Tuning - the remap is £299 and the STS unit is £150. Just click on the Performance Tuning link when you get to the site and choose your car.

Ben remapped my Passat 1.8T and it's made a lot of difference to low end grunt and the economy's improved by about 3% on the long term MPG reading.

Welcome aboard

As Mook has kindly added, you can order an STS over the phone and have it delivered to you which will save you the travelling. All it takes is a couple of emails and 10 minutes in the car and you're remapped

The cost is £299 + £150 and postage is £7.99 for next day delivery. We're closing for a few days due to the annual homage to Le Mans but usually the STS unit can be with you next day and the remap is with you within 24 hours of us receiving your original map.

If you'd like to give one of us a call on 0871 2211 281 some time tomorrow we can go through the details and answer any other questions you might have.

Regards

Would this kit be able to handle a heavily modified S3 engine?

My remapping knowledge is limited

The device is only uploading the map to the car, all the tuning is done by us as if you were at the workshop. With a heavily modified car we'd rather have the car ourselves to work on and make sure it's 100% before giving it back to you.

There is no problem with having an STS device with a "low boost" map if desired, along with the immobiliser function
