You might want to start reading up on Cobb Accessport tuning device. This might be your best bet.

I have already talked to mellon but i was wondering if there was any one over here that had a dyno to get it tuned on. I dont really like the cobb, too many mixed reviews with it. I like the option of mellon tuning it for me but i would really like a dyno tune.

I do not know about german market much, but if you are willing to travel to Bohemia
They have own awd dyno, they do Ecutek, but i am not sure they speak german thou ,
maybe it is only another language barrier for you

thanks for the help. I will have to see how far away Bohemia is from where i am at. What do they speak in Bohemia, not speaking german is a good thing. English would be a plus

If you want a dyno tune then you are strictly worried about numbers which is the wrong thing to be worried about. Numbers don't make a car faster as much as the driver does. A remote road tune is real world driving with real world results.. it's perfectly safe and Mellon is now doing remote tunes through the Cobb AP which I have done and had excellent results with it. He will make sure that it's right before he sends you on your way.

I do not know if they speak English, Czech language is spoken in Bohemia.
I have only heard they have done good job on evo828's car, at the time he was within the community.
Personally I would recommend one of the guys doing remote tuning, but you wanted some good dyno reference somewhere in Germany, so I thought it is not that far away.

Eh? Dyno tune? You have the freakin Autobahn! Go wring out 5th gear Not to mention, that'll load the car like crazy, so worst case conditions.

Wrining out 5th gear...... Maybe after some susp mods, there might not be any speed limits on most parts but that doesnt mean the roads are smooth. The only downside to the Autobahn. But no more getting passed by ugly *** Audi Station wagons. Whoo hooo
