Hello, thanks for letting me join! I just bought a 14' jetta tdi with dsg transmission, I was thinking of deleting egr, dpf, cats, i was looking at malone stage 0.5 with the stainless exhaust, anyone have experience with it? How about tunemyeuro.com? Are they any good? Thanks
Here's a couple things to consider. If you delete the emissions hardware you won't be eligible for warranty repairs, which cover far more than the emissions gear. Turbo, injectors, timing belt system, etc. are all covered in the court ordered warranty. So if you're concerned about those, you're giving up a lot by doing a delete.
Some here say that a tune alone will jeopardize your warranty, but I think that's less clear. If you flash the car back to stock before taking it in for warranty work you
might be OK. I haven't seen a lot of data either way on this.
If you don't want to keep the car stock (I didn't), then I'd suggest a stage 1 or 2 tune and a DSG tune. I have a Rocketchip tune on my GSW (manual, so no DSG tune) and VCDS data shows it's making about 180/300. Drives far better, especially at highway speeds. You may be satisfied with that. If not, you can always go to the delete as a next step.
