Hey guys so I finally got the stage 3 Malone Tune from Andrew at fixmyvw.com. First and foremost, Andrew is a pleasure to work with. Awesome customer service, responded to my emails almost immediately and shipped it out that day and it was at my first door step 2 days later. Thank you Andrew

Now the tune, I purchased the Bosio Sprint nozzles a while ago from somebody and I didnt get them tested or anything so I just installed them the way they are. Got the tune installed today with Dynamic EGR and Dynamic Idle, Wooowww I love ittttttttttt. The car pulls so much harder and pulls pretty much all the way to the red line. I am so glad that i got it, for 350 bucks, you cannot go wrong with this. 2nd gear actually pulls your neck back a little bit and 3rd gear and 4th gear are just amazing. I personally love 4th gear the most, it seems to pull the hardest in 4th Gear.

I will comment back by next week sometime on the MPG status, I have about 250 miles in this tank with the stock tune so about 400 of it will be with the tune so I am very excited to see the difference.

Your clutch will be next, I installed PP520 nozzles on my ALH and I noticed slippage in 4th immediately if I floored it. Put a SBC St2 Daily in and all is right in the world now...

Just to add to the review, if you are experiencing Cold start problems like i was, the dynamic idle will definitely fix that. My car always started but it would take a good 5-8 seconds to start on very cold days and once it does start, it just sounded terrible like I was forcing it to start. After i did the dynamic idle, it started on the very first crank, not even the slightest hesitation or anything, I freaking love it. One less problem to worry about
