Advanced Info
When using aftermarket ECUs such as MaxxECU, users can configure parameters like base dwell (charge) and discharge times. As a general reference, VAG coils typically operate within the range of 1.8–2.4 ms, though optimal values depend on factors such as wiring quality, power supply stability, and whether the setup is naturally aspirated or boosted and even fuel type, whether it’s normal unleaded, race fuel or methanol.
These figures are provided for informational purposes only. Actual settings should be determined and validated by the tuner based on the specific vehicle, components, and conditions. ASD Tuning accepts no responsibility for damage or issues resulting from improper configuration or use.
