Hi, I'm looking to tune the car again now that I'm back to stock. I've had the APR tune for a few years before my ECM broke. I got it replaced and all CEI cleared. Now I want to move away from APR and still currently researching the forums (a lot to go through, just looking for a TLDR version). From what I've been seeing, Malone/Tunezilla is a good option. I'm exploring other options too, but I have a few questions before I proceed:
Car is currently stock at 183xxx miles. I don't have any performance upgrades (coils and tune were the only two). Given the amount of miles, should I look to replace anything such as clutch or turbo before tuning? With Tunezilla I was planning on getting stage 1. It's my daily driver and I don't beat the car as hard. Having the APR tune was fun so I wanted something to match it or go a bit further.
Tunezilla Stage 1 requires DSG tune. Can someone explain that?
Lastly, I live in a place with emission laws. First California and now Arizona. Which means I probably can't do a DPF delete. I'm still looking into the pros/cons of the DPF delete. Will I be losing out on much if I keep the DPF?
I think that covers it for me to get started. I'll still be researching different builds as I'm willing to spend. Looking to hear inputs from the community, thanks!
