Hello tdi fam
Looking to do a stage 2 Malone.
I'm confused by a few things and hoping you can give some answers.
- Tune vs Tune & Downpipe (EGR/DPF removal)
is a DP required for the gains, or can you tune a stock car and experience 90% of the improvement claimed?
- Warranty
I'm assuming this is a hard "yes", but if you tune the car is the VW diesel-gate warranty gone?
- Emissions/EGR (Longevity)
One of the reasons I want to run the DP is to lower the temps under the hood. This usually bodes well for engine life. Obviously these things are retarded (literally) from the factory and I would greatly enjoy the increase in power and MPG. Just wondering if we have any stories of long-timers and high-milers and how the tune has held up for everyone?
Thanks in advance for any and all info!
