'
I'm curious about this also' Why oh why are you waiting?confused: Do it now!
Once you get yours tuned, you WILL wonder why you waited.
Are you somehow afraid that VW will find out that you have had yours tuned?
Here is exactly what
bhutchins said
word for
word:
Malone stage 2 tune,
keeping the DPF,
gained me about 5 mpg highway (if you keep your foot out of it) and maintains emisions.
He then continues on and states:
I regret removing my DPF.
It was expen$ive, no longer a clean diesel, throws codes, but
gained about another 4 mpg with the dpf delete tune, and lower EGT. (For a total of apprximately nine (9) mpg gain!
What he does not say is the tremendous gains in hp and mainly torque that he saw.
The way I understand it, you must do
Stage Two IF you plan on removing your DPF.
So why not get at least a stage one tune NOW and enjoy the extra hp and TORQUE!
I had my JSW TDI DSG done at 36K and then sold it outright at 43K miles
five months later, and I am not at all sorry I paid five bills for that tune.
You will not regret that kind of move at all, believe me.
I did not gain five (5) mpg, but perhaps three (3) mpg instead. Maybe I drove it a little bit harder.
It was so much stronger, it was hard not to enjoy that extra hp and especially the added torque.
BTW, I had a
Neuspeed tune which may be a little bit different from the
Malone and
Revo tunes.
Good luck.
