With the proper supporting mods (which I'm almost there) my recent installed 6.5 TME will/could have me at the 380+whp mark when properly tuned. That will be DSG's job when I finally get there for my tune. That number was enough for me as a daily street driven car. So I decided on the TME. I didn;t see the need for me to up to a 20G with conversion kit to support my VIII intercooler piping. Wasn't worth the additional cost for me. Besides, I have way better places to dump $1k than to send it out and build up a blown turbo thats sitting on a shelf here at work. I was just lookin for parts to do this myself. I guess it gets a little more involved than I planned on getting into. Balancing would be my only concern.

 

I personally wouldnt have DSG tune my car. Not after hearing the stories about that black evo with the carbon fenders. I would drive it to Ivey or Jstr.

 

Oh...I thought most everyone around here had great experiences with DSG?

 

thats the first time i've ever heard anything but rave reviews...

 

My car isn't black and doesn't have CF fenders....maybe I will be okay

J/P...honestly, I haven't heard anything negative. I plan on going to them. I believe there are a few members locally that have used them and have had "great success" (in my best Borat voice )

 

I was planning on going to them when I "eventually" modify my car. My initial plan is that once its not my daily driver, or at least closer to having it's warranty expire, shooting for around 320-330 awhp. tune, TBE, intercooler + piping, maybe cams, etc...

 

any suggestions for a meet location this week?

 

I think their fab work is pretty nice but i have yet to be impressed by their tuning. It is expensive and i haven't seen good things. I would bring it to a tuner more highly invested in evos ie Ivey or Jester

Dude that is seriously stuff we could help you with. Please dont pay. I am sure if you donated some pizzas the guys could knock all of that besides the cams out in an afternoon. And i am hoping to get some cams with my next tax return so hopefully i will have some experience with those too.

Yeah lets do the damn thing!

 

Paul Wednesday is Halloween, i will need to be at the house. Lets do Thursday.

hahaha turco. Hey paul nice pics the bumper looks sick.

 

wicked jealous!!! it looks SICK buddy.

thurs works for this guy. locale?

 

I did hit this from multiple angles. After speaking /emailing back and forth with a couple different places, DSG is local, experienced, and affordable. $500 for a custom tune is not a lot to spend for what it is. If I chose to go further south, it will cost me more in gas money, an entire day of travel, and most important my time. I have very little time as an expense. So it does make sense, for me, to use a reputable shop that is about 1 hour drive for me each way. The other tuners have a great establishment, and if I was closer to them, I would use them. I have read great results from Ivey and Jestr, but the drive for me is just too far. If this was something I am looking to get every possible tenth of a second and most HP possible, I would travel. But I am keeping this tune at a more reliable stage than a highly aggressive stage. I'm not looking for bragging rights, just a proper tune to support my mods

 

Great pics Paul. I am anxious to see the car after winter when the wheels are done
