So I've read several posts and am new to modifying cars but not to actually doing mechanical work and would like some feedback on my issue and upgrades. Sorry for the long post...
I'm a vcds amateur...so a little back story...I have a 2012 golf tdi/dsg with ~148k miles and the engine/emission management light was going on and off periodically over the course of a few months and then has remained solid for a month or so now. I've noticed a decent drop in fuel economy so I decided to buy a vag-com to finally check on it...I got the faults below, before I cleared the code and then it came back on a few hours later after driving a few times and having the engine off/on for those trips...
so one initial question is since it came back and from the data prior to clearing the code does it look like I just have a bad egr filter or a bad egr filter and dpf or maybe just a bad/cracked dpf? The dpf warning lamp has never come on.
The next questions I have is I'm looking at getting the cr170 turbo along with the downpipe and full exhaust and resonator, as well as the ecu tune and dsg tune, is there anything else I would need for example if got rid of the egr cooler as I've read some people leave that on for some reason?
Will the cr170 turbo upgrade work with the stage 2 tune or only stage 3?
Anything else required besides the above list with a stage 3?
Can I remove the Dpf/egg and install the downpipe and run it safely besides the CEL coming on while saving up for the tune and turbo?
Any downside of going stage 2 vs 3?
Buzzken vs Rawtek?
Neuro tune vs Malone?
I may have more questions just want to make sure I get everything prior to removing all of the parts.
