Any plans for a Malone Tuning Group Buy anytime soon?

[Combine17]

everyone will meet at burlington mall - located in burlington.

ps. very good location ken

 

[Combine17]

also, is Mark coming down to help you with the tunes?

 

[BuzzKen]

No, each car has to be read and emailed into him, he will make a tune and email them back.

 

[Combine17]

so you will be reading the cars...sending the info (from burlington mall?) and he will make a tune..send it back to you and you tune it right there?

sorry, just trying to understand how this process works...never had it done before

 

[BuzzKen]

U got it right. I will start reading and sending as quickly as possible, I will reload the new tune into each car as he sends them back to me.

 

[Jonny Zero]

I'm interested....

 

[BuzzKen]

Deposits can be placed as soon as you wish, I will keep a list posted of everyone that has confirmed.

 

[IAMCIRE]

Will you be giving people time slots or will it be a first come first serve basis on the day?

 

[BuzzKen]

I think time slots will work best so nobody gets stuck hanging around too long if they don't wish to. Pls request a time window when you pay your deposit and I will do my best to accomodate everyone.

 

[DLG_TDi]

That's wicked! Location and date is perfect. Even downpayment is decent too I bet we will have like 30 cars in by then.

 

[muhibmc]

im really interested but my 2000 Jetta TDI has about 360K its all stock, the timing belt was done at 320K, its still running the original turbo as far as i know.

i never had any issues with over boosting, i cleaned the intake and the EGR.
Other than that just regular maintenance has been done. (filters, oil, glow plugs etc..)

So you guys think that a tune on a car like mine is worth it? or am i just asking for trouble?

P.S i had a 2006 Jetta TDI with a Unitronics stage 1+ absolutely loved it....

 

[BuzzKen]

It's just broken in. Do it.

 

[DLG_TDi]

I have 502,xxx km on mine. All stock but might add nozzles before my tune. Hey if she blows, she had a good long life. Lol.

 

[Combine17]

nozzles before tune is a very good upgrade...MANY people do it.

i did all my physical upgrades and tuning last...better to do it this way...avoid a re-tune in the future

 

[Axxe]

Maybe I missed it, but what's the timeline on this? I am going to be in Europe from the end of April - Mid June so if it falls in that window I will have to bow out of the group buy. Was planning on doing nozzles first anyway, tune isn't a wear item.

 

[DLG_TDi]

Sounds like its the way to go about it

@BuzzKen wife will be away with the Golf on June 1 , so I'm gonna need to take it off the list .

Still wanting my 01 Jetta done.

 

[BuzzKen]

Tell her to hurry back! June 2nd is the confirmed date.

 

[strikeraj]

Burlington Mall at Guelph Line/QEW Sunday June 2nd? How does this work for everyone?

I have spoken with Mark, due to so many tunes in one day, we can't do any gas cars that day(they are very time consuming for him). If there is enough CR interest, we will set up a second day to do them.

A $25 deposit by paypal or email transfer prior to the date will be required. Send to buzz_civic@hotmail.com. Please include all your info in a note.

Full payment by paypal prior to the date or cash on location.

Thx -Ken

So How much is that in total for a stage 2 (or 1.5 if boost creeping) for a PD engine assuming we have at least 15 firm participants?

 

[BuzzKen]

$309.62

 

[VR6ix]

What's the story with custom tunes and this group-buy offer... can we set-up something later to run logs and get the tune dialed-in on an individual basis, but still get the group-buy pricing and a base-line ECU flash the day-of?

 

[strikeraj]

sorry another question
will i pass the new e-test with a tune?

 

[node_one]

Love to get in on this, but the date/location just isn't going to work for me....

 

[Combine17]

off topic question - will a 3bar map damage anything if i run the car untuned? just installed it yesterday along with a bunch of other upgrades therefore i need a tune asap

 

[BuzzKen]

strikeraj- Yes (assuming no other issues)
node_one- second/alternate date pending
combine17- Watch your boost gauge, don't drive like an animal, you'll be ok.

 

[Combine17]

yea thats what i thought...keeping boost under 20psi...UNTIL i get a tune.

also...since i have a boost controller...will i still need it after a tune? or will that affect the tune.

 

[strikeraj]

Sorry but please remove me from the list
my budget proposal got rejected by the CFO in my house
i guess it is a wait till the next fiscal year
