Excellent cjaa video, thank you

Thank you for the coupon code!!! Just ordered stage 2 with CP3 for my CJAA.

Awesome hope you enjoy it, mild tune on these cars make them feel like they should’ve came from the factory that way.

I did a Kerma Tune on the 2.0 TDI Passat as well as their tune on the DSG. I felt it was worth the money

Hey Josh fantastic video as always! I’d be very interested in seeing a video comparing fuel economy between the 0.5 and stage 2. I’m getting close to pulling the trigger on a delete kit for improved reliability and fuel economy, so I’d be curious to see the difference. Also, what’s your take on the dynamic idle? Does it make that much of a difference? Thanks!

Im curious as well, I’m figuring if you don’t use that extra power and drive nicely it’ll be similar but we’ll see. As far as dynamic idle, for warm up it definitely won’t hurt but I’m not sure how much of a difference. I do find it makes the dsg touchy until it s warmed up as rpm’s don’t drop once your in gear.

I have stage 3 tune with hybrid cr170 turbo. It's nothing like it was stock lol. Saving for new clutch now so I can really test it out.

I would of liked to go larger turbo on this one, I just got a used one so cheap I couldn’t justify not using it.

Dumb question: I removed my DPF (Rawtek Eco) today but haven't run my tune as my pipe has not arrived. Do I need the DPF/EGR/Swirl tune, and the EGR delete? Stage 0.5, by the way. Thanks!

Yes click the stage 0.5, then check the dpf/egr/swirl delete and the egr delete and you should be set

​@JoshsJettas do they let add that for free?

@JoshsJettas

Yes it’s free with a tune. They have other add-ons that would be an extra $99

Dynamic EGR aka Pre-Dieselgate 😂 For the record I driven Stage 0.5, 1, and 2 for about 2 weeks each and you can get the same FE between 1 and 2 depending on the driving habits. But the Stage 2 gives a little more go and smiles. If the turbo ever goes out, upgrade to a bigger one and Stage 3 would make it a blast to drive 😁

I kind of figured the fuel wouldn’t differ much if you drive sensible. You sure get the itch to go bigger once your playing with it, it got a used turbo when I bought it so well see how long it lasts.

Is gutting the components an option over purchasing downpipe and exhaust?

@JoshsJettas

Ай бұрын

Yes, 2 reasons I’d advise against it is 1) it’ll need cut up because of the inlet and outlet angles, 2) the dpf and cat are worth $500 usd to recycle so that’s a fair chunk towards a shiny new downpipe.

Hey Josh, If I do a stage 2 tune to my 2014 Passat TDI, can I keep all my emissions stuff on? If so, will it compromise the emissions components?

@whoopiniron14

Yes. From the TuneZilla catalog, just don't select the "REMOVE DPF, ADBLUE, EGR, AND/OR INTAKE SWIRL FLAP" option. You still must tune the DSG though.

@JoshsJettas

4 ай бұрын

Yup, they even have up to stage 4 emissions intact. It’ll probably decrease def usage, as far as compromising emissions components you should be fine. The Passats don’t seem to have the dpf issues that the cjaa do.

Thank you, guys, for all your information. I really appreciate it. I didn't think i'd be able to do a stage 2 or better. Is there anything I could do to limit the emissions that would not be seen or detected that could help with the performance?

Is an intake worth doing on the TDI, and if so, which one? I was looking at the APR intake.

If you install the egr block plate would you need to disable the egr by unplugging and need the egr light suppressor?

Tunezilla doesn’t recommend anything past the 0.5 without a dsg tune. The MR Tuning stage 2 was on the car prior for about 6k without dsg tuning.

@@dshevchuk97 the car had a stage 2 MR Tuning from Quebec without dsg tuning, tunezilla which is formerly known as Malone from British Columbia requires a dsg tune past 0.5. I’m not sure if MR Tuning uses some trickery or limits torque to save needing the dsg tune but tunezilla/Malone said with the added torque on the stage 1 and 2 it’s required.

So, you are recommending Malone over MRTuning?

@JoshsJettas

4 ай бұрын

I wouldn’t say that, just a different option. I’m curious on the comparison between the main 2 “delete” tuning companies. I originally wanted to try lining another local car up that had a Malone tune on it to compare but tunezilla made it possible to compare on the same vehicle.

Depends on the tune, MR Tuning ignores the egt sensor, whereas Tunezilla uses it as a fail safe to cut fueling if temps get too hot.
