Rumours have made some people believe that it is not possible to improve the performance of cars with DSG or/and particle filter but we could counter these rumours and optimized the first car with DSG and particle filter with a great success for us and our customers.

The season start of the TCCA was for the organizer and for the partner UPsolute a big breakthrough. As in the past Upsolute was sponsor of the ÖTC (Austrian Touring Car Challenge) and assisted in improving the performance of the touring car and we also try to make the races more exciting and faster for this season.

On the occasion of the forthcoming start of the new season (Wachauring/Melk 16. - 17. April 2005) the TCCA (Touring Car Challenge Austria) presented itself at a press conference in the bulding of its partner UPsolute. The arrival of almost 40 guests, amongst them the manager of the TCCA Herber Karrer, many drivers and team chefs, made the event a full success. The event was marked not only by much humour as well as great ambition for the upcoming races.

Initially we could not guarantee that it was possible to tune the new models of Kia (Sportage) and Hyundai (Tucson). But the mystery could be solved. A Chiptuning performance enhancement for these models is possible and you can see the performance data in our online database.

The new 2.0 GTI T-FSI with almost 200hp of the VAG Groupe was launched in the market and we asked ourselves how good these models would be with UPsolute software. With little delay we were able to open the doors for the first 200hp GTI T-FSI. After intensive test work we could develop a perfect version for this type of engine and the customer could test the proud 40hp and 70 torque on the streets.

UPsolute is proud to welcome our new distributors in South Africa and the Philippines. Further details can be found at our distributor page.

On the 14 of July 2004 UPsolute opened the doors of the new modernly designed building for our customers, who could not wait to entrust us with giving new life to their cars. We try to offer the best possible climate for our customers and therefore we have a lounge with TV, coffee and beverages.

On 14. june 2004 our new office will be finished! Our new building in the business park B17 directely on the Triesterstrasse will be initiate. The ambiance will be much more modern and pleasant. Also in the future we will work as careful as usual.

From now on we are able to offer high quality diverter valves. These Pop-Off valves are made out of special aluminium which is taken from Airspace Technology. You can choose between 2 different version. One is the 'Eco Pop' which exchanges the original part by optaining a life time quality. The other is the 'Racing Pop' which is for racing purposes mainly.

With the trend of more TDI owners modifying their cars beyond just a chip we decided to have Bell Intercoolers, Inc develop a more effecient intercooler kit . This will effectively reduce intake temperatures with a resulting decrease on exhaust temperature. It's phase one of our Stage II and Stage III TDI kits. It has been made to work perfectly with our new turbo setup and allow reliable operation of the little TDI to 150hp!

Advantages:

• Effectively reduced intake temperatures.
• Decrease on exhaust temperature.
• Reliable increase of power up to 150hp for the 90hp TDI possible!

Stay tuned as the rest of StageII /stageIII parts become availible.
