I picked up my 06 Jetta TDI (09/06) last friday with 4200km on the odometer, I was pretty happy with the stock performance but coming from a 1.8t I needed just a bit more. Since I live in Montreal and know the guys from Unitronic fairly well, I stoped in to see what kind of torque these oil burners can really put out. I went with the stage 1 program for now (upgrades are available for a small fee) to get a small taste. Holy moly am I impressed. The most impressice i found was cruising at around 50km/h in 3rd gear and mashing the throttle. You get instant response along with a surge of power similar to that if an airplane taking off. I thought my 198whp/230wtq GTI pulled hard at low-end, but its VERY diffrent....completely lagless. I cant wait to feel the stage 1+ this summer.
Going from 95 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque
to 125 hp and 243 lb-feet is quite a diffrence.
Oh yeah...no smoke.
Here is a dyno from a car running the same file take from a thread that KDOT-TDI started a while ago.
