Did you have Malone tune all that out? I made the mistake of not explicitly requesting all of it be tuned out (HP-EGR, LP-EGR, ASV, DPF, etc) and I have a bunch of codes and lights, including glowplugs. Once I got the last of it deleted from the ECU (ASV was the culprit as I recall), it was all good and has been since . Good luck.permission to ask stage 3.5 questions?
3- did you just tie up all of the plugs that are no longer used? specifically.. EGR valve, ASV, EGR cooler wires..

the google machine did not tell me that my old version of Malone's stage 2 sometimes would not throw codes for bad glow plugs / sensors. but now I know!Use the google machine on #2
#1 you'll want to fix, easy to swap in one of the post turbo sensors(requires slight trimming of the sensor plug).
I think most of us are removing the egr cooler. If there was a "kit", it would consist of a barbed elbow and two hose clamps . I got a race pipe that eliminates both the egr and asv.Are you guys that are going stage 3 removing the EGR cooler as well as the EGR? Is there a kit available?
Also, are you getting a "race pipe" for the intake eliminating the egr valve?
Oh, it's that easy! I didn't realize. Where did you get the race pipe? Does it give you a check engine light?I think most of us are removing the egr cooler. If there was a "kit", it would consist of a barbed elbow and two hose clamps . I got a race pipe that eliminates both the egr and asv.
I got mine from Les at German Diesel Motorwerks but can't go wrong with Aaron at Fixmyvw. Be sure to tell your tuner (Malone) exactly what you've deleted. I got check engine lights because I deleted my ASV and wasn't specific about it.Oh, it's that easy! I didn't realize. Where did you get the race pipe? Does it give you a check engine light?
Great minds think alike!I got mine from Les at German Diesel Motorwerks but can't go wrong with Aaron at Fixmyvw. Be sure to tell your tuner (Malone) exactly what you've deleted. I got check engine lights because I deleted my ASV and wasn't specific about it.

I got my race pipe from Les at GDM. If you want to retain the asv, fixmyvw.com has a race pipe that does that. I live about 20 minutes NE of Augusta. I'll pm you sometime I have a bit free time if you want to check out my car. I also have a cp3 hpfp.
Keep it! There's a ton of posts/treads/FB posts where they have buyback regret. Nothing else out there like it. (unless you're upgrading to a 2015 like I did from my 2011)Sure would be nice to see dyno results, on the same car, same dyno, for:
1. Stock
2. Stage 2
3. Stage 3.5
I have the 1 & 2 done. Been holding off on #3 ever since dieselgate. Haven't decided what to do yet. If I keep it... 3.5 for sure.

Ha ha! I was reading it shaking my head like, "well I sure as $hit don't regret it" and then got to the end and laughed because I slid into a MY15 GSW and love it! Also, if I decide to do more than tune once my warranty is up, after 160k, then we'll have bolt on CR190 option and can even keep emissions equipment intact.Keep it!

Care to share your dyno comparison?
And you'll hit the EGT limiter all day long, pulls power with a smooth but noticeable effort. Even without DPF, the stock turbo hits the limiter on a hot day and that's with the limit raised to the max allowable temp. A bit more effort, but the GTD1752vrk works and I just saw mention of a hybrid GTD1760vrk!Also, if I decide to do more than tune once my warranty is up, after 160k, then we'll have bolt on CR190 option and can even keep emissions equipment intact.
Well, there is no free lunch so I'll let the tuners sort all that out, it'll be a few years until I hit 160 so until then, I'll keep thoroughly enjoying my wagen. I'm sure the CR190 or GTD setups will be fully flushed out by the time I decide to take any major steps. I'd have to imagine bouncing off to EGT limiter won't be something I'd deal with much anyway, I drive like a typical TDI owner 98% of the time but love to work on these things and the occasional blast down the on ramp to clear out the cobwebs. ?And you'll hit the EGT limiter all day long, pulls power with a smooth but noticeable effort.

While I am not, I would say, just from what your setup is, the daily is plenty for the application. Maybe someone else will hop in and correct me on that assumption but I don't see you ever getting to that 470 number.Is anyone driving the DMF stage 3 clutch kit from southbend you have the choice between 470 ft/lb daily, 485 lb/ft endurance, 550 lb/ft drag and 575+lb/ft also drag, all for about the same price, I don't know the difference between all of them but I was thinking of using the Daily model but dang they aren't cheap at all. I have a stage 2 Jetta Tdi 2011, 185 WHP/360lb/ft(Aggressive tune) on stock turbo (24 psi, peak between 27 and 30 sometimes), and 2.5'' stainless exhaust to the rear axle, the DMF is starting to be fatigued after 60000 km of abuse.
Here is the link to the clutch kits with Sasch High torque DMF

What do you guys think about it ?

MUCH better than dropping synchros, needing Fluidampr etc...You are right, even if one day I go with a big turbo setup, cp3 pump, injectors, etc i think it is plenty sufficient, and with the DMF I think it will be better for the synchro problems of the SMF clutch kits that have been commented a few times.
Would you consider going back to a DMF with all the miles and experiences you have with the SMF setup?A bigger turbo may not make as much torque below 2k RPM as well, so DMF could stay alive longer. They're a replacement item at some point though.
