Default Audi A5 1.4tfsi DTUK tuning option

Hi guys! So after alot of research i figured out that DTUK makes a tuning box for a5 1.4tfsi... i have seen alot of great reviews for DTUK but i wanted to ask should i get this box for the 1.4tfsi? Or will it be to much of a stress?

That is for you and you alone to decide. The DTUK unit is an extremely generic piggyback that advertises compatibility with everything from 18 wheel big-rig diesel trucks, to tractors, to powerboats. Very few people tune the 1.4t engine, and you are the first person I have ever seen ask about this engine on AudiWorld let alone ask about tuning it. You would, it seems, be a pioneer. Be sure to report how it goes if you pull the trigger!

If they have, they certainly aren't going to tell you about it here.

Hiding performance modifications for the explicit purpose of obtaining warranty service on a car that the owner knows could otherwise be denied, will in most courts satisfy the definition of criminal fraud which in most states/countries is a jailable offense. And therefore not something people would generally be advised to admit to, especially on an open internet forum that plenty of dealers and Audi reps frequent.
