Honestly KERMA has been doing it a lot longer , and specialize in TDI...
Whats is your factory power rating?
Thanks for all the advice, looks like I'll be going with Malones Stage 2 tune. It doesn't look like he sells the pipe, anyone have an outlet for that?
What"s the word on the DSG trans, can it handle much more power?
The limit on the DSG trans hasn't been pushed in NA on a TDI yet, as far as I know. There are tunes for them. The stock torque limiter is around 250ft-lbs.
250 @ the wheels or crank? 140/236 stock, 250 crank isn't much of an inprovement.
So would you recommend a DSG transmission over the manual transmission in a new TDI Jetta/Passat? How much power over stock can the stock clutch in the six speed manual handle?250 at the crank I believe. A DSG tune fixes that problem
Many Malone Stage 2 cars are running over 300ft-lbs on DSG with a DSG tune.
