Hello all, I'm thinking to upgrade to CP3 pump. Should've done it when doing the timing belt, but didn't do my research well So, I wanted to ask, if I'm going for the trouble of the upgrade to CP3, what else should be done at the same time? And another question. My 2015 tdi sportswagen runs on...

Received my pipe a few days ago. Happy now. For those who is interested how it looks, I took a few pictures, but cant figure out how to attach them here w/o uploading at some third party site. The connections on the pipe look like I will need to file a few things here and there, but for the...

I drive a lot on a highway. Mileage wise probably 90% on a highway. Local trips can still drag the mpg down, I understand. 41 mpg is my absolute maximum though. Could that be from the fact that tuned vehicles dos not do regen cycles? It's been almost 18k miles and 9 months on the Stage 2 Malone...

@adjat84th do you think my numbers are normal for the MK7 wagon 6-speed CRUA? What mods should I be looking next to get it to breathe right, while having a bit more power? I was thinking of getting new injectors. This will call for a fuel pump upgrade and likely clutch too. Thinking of what...

It's a relief to know that I wasn't not alone. To be fair, I didn't get bad vibes from "them". The vibes came from the fact that I was asked to use a non-reversible form of payment outside of their webstore. It's the first time in my life I see this kind of checkout process from presumably big...

I finally pulled the trigger on getting the TWR downpipe after looking at all the mess with Rawtec. Does anyone have a first hand experience buying from their online store? The checkout process with TWR was odd. Their website uses SSL, but the webstore has no SSL encryption. I almost thought it...

@adjat84th My thought about pre-dpf cars exactly. Decades of cars in production with catalytics before DPF was invented. Somehow their cats held up somehow or maybe I'm just unaware. Thanks about the tune comment. I will double check with Malone. Reading about cats on diesel cars from 1970-2000...

Thanks guys. I went back and forth with trw on whatsapp and got confused by their answers even more about catalytic/soot issue. They say that the downpipe replaces the catalytic as well. I don't think it's correct. Or is it? Should I be worried about having to redo the exhaust in a short period...

If catalytic gets sooted, then I will have to replace it. Still better than to throw away a working one. The only drawback is that I will have to stick to the same manufacturer and be limited by their options availableat that time. But worse comes to worst, I can throw away that $300 TWR...

Sorry for the stupid question, this TRW downpipe must be welded on, correct? The similar piece from the rawtek has bolt holes. And back to my original question, what am I missing by keeping the original components past this one? That would be cat and resonator. How big of the improvement a high...

@adjat84th it's been awhile. Thanks for your answer. May I ask you to extend your favor by answering my additional questions below? What would be the advantage of replacing the exhaust past the downpipe? In other words, will the vehicle be gaining any significant performance with full exhaust...

That is awesome, I did not know that there are kits that allow you to keep the original exhaust pipe assembly with just a downpipe swap. Sounds like what I wanted to do. Thanks for pointing me out in that direction. Too bad I can't use Rawtek for that, in case I wanted to replace the pipe later...

I thought the DPF-off would be a nice backup option in case of DEF system malfunction so I can actually make it to a carshop. As of a "nightmare". Will that be a nightmare of a size of exhaust system upgrade, just followed the directions backwards and untuning to bare Stage 2 or original? Or...

Thank you, you got all my concerns covered. I spoke to one car mechanic, he was recommended here on the board and he sounded optimistic about everything, pointing at his several tdi's as an example. But I know that I will be on my own when stuff happens. Is it doable to put stuff back together...

Thank you. How does that affect performance?

Hi everyone, I was looking into rawtech kits and want your help understanding what each variation of the kit does. Malone has an option for just Adblue delete when ordering Stage 2 and a separate option of Adblue+DPF+EGR delete with the same Stage 2 tune. When I bought my tune, I built my tune...

I saw one listing from the private seller and here what my question to him and what he wrote me. Good afternoon, Id like to see more pictures of the interior, and following questions: Timing belt replaced? Clutch, condition. Replaced? Any modifications to ECU (tunes)? Any known issues? Thank...

Automatic...

If I'm pressured by time, I think I can get myself a bmw 328d wagon as a bridge vehicle. The prices I'm seeing now on the GSW are a few grants higher than on the 328d made in 2018... Obviously, it will be automatic. I've never had bmw... Also, I read about importing from Europe. Nice idea, but...

Thanks for the answers guys, keep them coming, this is the conversation I was looking for. The time is limited for me, the insurance will probably give me a few days to buy a new one. It will be no time for research and waiting out for the right car. I started searches on the several platforms...
