What is a Malone Tune?

Nigel educate us please.

Malone Tuning is Mark Malone, used to be called Diesel Inside. He's still affiliated with Aligator, one of the "major" TDI tuners here in North America.

How does it compare to RC ?

Does Nigel even have a tune by Mark?

I don't if anyone has had both on the same hardware and compared.

i have.... used 4 tuners.

Mark is the best when it comes to service. The fastest turn around and response.

LOL. Its also in my signature.

This tank will be my last slow tank. It is soooo hard to drive slow. But I will easily joint the 900 mile club on this tank.

So what would be the difference between MM and RC Stage 2 if any? Thanks
PS: Nigel are you done with upgrades? So what you puting out(power) you figure?

you can get hold of Mark and he always responds to emails and has a local (somewhat) distributor of his products should you decide you dont want to buy his flashzilla loader.

EMT Tuning flash's cars with his tunes. They are located in guelph.

You'll be lucky to get rocketchip to come up to ontario once every year... busy man!

cant comment on software performance - havnt had rocketchip on my car.

I had RC2 recently done at a GT at Brandon(before Brandon upgraded my clutch) and I noticed Brandon now represents MM per their site.

It really aggravates me how some cars/people are capable of this! I have never been below 5.0l/100km. What's the secret?

Sorry. I know I have annoyed a few people bragging about my mileage lately. But heck, I have been driving diesels for over 10 years now and this is my FIRST TANK EVER with that kind of economy. So yes, I am going to brag a bit . Who wouldn't.

I don't know why, but this car was great on economy right from the beginning when I bought it used a year and a half ago. I would easily get 1100-1200 per tank. But recently I did a 5th gear swap and added the chip tune. I also have a MFA cluster that really helps me keep an eye on my consumption. It has really helped me change my driving style. Those 3 things gave me an extra 200 or so KM's per tank. For the last 2 tanks, I have been trying to drive gingerly (105kph) to make it to the 900 mile club. Once I hit it, I will revert back to my usual driving habits (120kph) and see what my mileage will be. Only 3 more trips between work and home and i will hit the 900 mile mark.

That's really awesome. (as much as it annoys me) I would think that I'm a good candidate for some really nice fuel economy numbers. I live in a small town and do mostly highway driving, set cruise at 100km/hr as indicated on the speedometer, don't accelerate very quickly from a stop (most of the time). I am very consistent in the 5.2 to 5.3 range. Just can't break the 5.0l/100 mark. Perhaps this summer!

Hey nigel i got a 6spd manual here youll get even better milage>>>

Is yours an auto??....Ive been over the 900 mile club a couple times

All I got to say about malone tuning is two thumbs up and an amazing guy to deal with! He has been the man behind the fine tuning on my car for years and has supplied me with ANY requests that I have requested! And believe me I have had alot of special requests and questions with always a positive reply!

Responses have always been lightning fast! What I love most about marks tuning is that he won't over tune and put you at risk of damaging anything! Which is very rare for tuners.

He will continue to tune all my future projects, have to say I'm
totally satisfied!

P.s I have another Rocketchip ecu which I must say is a great tune also by another amazing tuner. But with having the convience of getting in contact with mark and the above A+ tunes that he provides me with you can't go wrong

Brandon has a website?

pms replied yes i do have a website in the making mrvermin has to fine tweak it.dcbauto.com and we also will carry malone tunes in the near future.We already have vwmikel tunes available.

Sweet site.. some of it seems to be in another language? Do you stock performance minded parts etc (race pipes, manifolds...)? Also, are you able to do cat back straight pipes? It would be great to have a local shop like yours be the hub of get togethers and such.. hope this goes in that direction for you (and the community). Guess I know where to take the car for more performance oriented jobs now

Latin perhaps?

Latin babble is used as a placeholder while you develop content. That site is obviously not "launched" yet, but still under development

The site is looking promising.. keep it up.

I need a bigger turbo and try a Malone tune... all this hype is very enticing...
