Kerma Tuned the Touareg Today

[Midwesthick]

Absolutely worth it!

The slow throttle from the line is completely gone( was a safety hazard more than once), coming up to a stop light/sign it’s less jerky, and the thing just moves now.

Across the powerband has completely changed but it’s the most noticeable around town(sub 50mph). I can’t speak to MPG changes as I’ve only driven about 30 miles today so I’ll update as the week goes on.

I’ve owned other Kerma tuned TDI’s through the years and have enjoyed them all. Being in Denver, no luck of removing emissions and keeping the car.

Nothing like a fresh tune to keep that smile on your face.
Glad you’re happy with it so far.

nice! kerma is the best bet for emissions intact tunes from what i have seen and heard, so you made the right choice

Im looking to Kerma tune my 2011 golf dsg. Is it worth it to just do the tdi tune or should I also do the flash tune. $1000 is a lot

if you do not flash the DSG, you cannot push more than stock torque. so the car will not really be any faster.

Ive also had your combination, definitely do the DSG tune with a flash. @lemoncurd is correct that it would be a waste of only doing half the equation. Even the GTI/R guys who only flash cannot use the full potential of their tune without the DSG portion.

Update. I have now had back to back 680/700 miles total on a full tank which I feel is very solid. The car runs extremely well with zero hiccups.

I am waiting on a back ordered DPF and another cat from VW currently so maybe thatll make a difference even more? I doubt it but never know.

Whats your pencil and paper mpg?

So last fill-up with Fuelly was 27.3mpg and I would say im close to 50/50 driving.
