Does anyone have experience with a tuner that can tune my 2014 Touareg TDI other than Malone? tia
Darkside does remote tuning as well, but they couldn't get rid of dpf sensor check engine lights for me so I moved to Malone when I got a bigger turbo. Now I'm having more annoyances with their tune like my mileage going out the tail pipe as heavy soot under light throttle.
for both of you, reach out to

the dude knows his stuff, he tuned my 2.0 when Malone couldnt (compressor surge, black smoke on heavy throttle, poor fuel economy)
Mr Funky's experience is largely in ECU tuning only at the moment. he has ventured into DQ250 tunes lately, for which I have also had excellent experience. malone sent me 3 TCU tune revisions, none of which fixed any issues i had. Funky sent me ONE tune to flash, and it worked right then out of the box. i got an MPG bump too as he was no longer commanding stupid amounts of clutch pressure. i didnt even have to redo my stock file adaptations!
it just worked
those 3 words have been my total experience with funky, if you read through my posts i am always recommending him when someone asks about CR TDI tuning, and for good reason.
at the end of the day, malone WILL get you down the road. but theres some nastiness they do under the hood; EGT limiter deleted, coolant limiter bent or deleted, injection duration never exceeds maximum stock level, injection timing is hamfisted (hence the poor MPG and smoke), and oil saturation with soot / fuel.
Funky's prices are also very fair, i paid less for his ECU / TCU tune than I did for malone. goodluck!
