I have a 1.2 Tsi engine and every time with my tuning box I put my foot down low in the revs the whole car jumps and judders when I think turbo is trying to work does anyone know a fix or where the problem may lie. I have tried it without the tuning box in and it works perfectly fine with no problems

A few things to check I guess.

Do the revs jump up when the juddering occurs, or go sporadic?

Have you checked the tuning box and software are correct for your car? You have not mentioned the year of your car and there are many revisions of the 1.2 tsi engine.

What settings do you have for the tuning box? My understanding is they have different levels of tune, based on a dial or an app. Perhaps try the lowest setting and see if that works?

Is everything connected correctly?

Otherwise you may find their support more helpful.

I have the right year 2014 but the revs don’t do anything it only happens when im low down in the Revs and putting my foot down in a higher gear from 3rd it shakes the car

I suggest try the lowest settings.

If you have access to data logging like VCDS it may shed some light.

Otherwise you may have to ask them directly.
