Hi
What options do you have for a Passat CC TDI (170)?
Price? Gains? Warranty?

Current range of TDI models are not yet supported here in Australia yet due to limitations in my equipment; I will be receiving a range of upgrades in the very near future and would be more than happy to contact you when it becomes available (Jan or Feb).

Pricing will be $880, although I am considering extending my promotional price of $730 into the new year as well.

Gains for the TDI 170 are +24kW and +55Nm.

Hi John,

Just read your post in the other thread re tuning for the MKV R32. I'm keen, but would like to know more about how the interstate tuning process works. I mean, is it as simple as plugging in the unit, hitting the 'go' button, unplugging the unit and enjoying the new found engine responsiveness? Have DNA's tunes ever been known to cause problems of any sort?

My R32 already has a Evo Motor Sports intake kit, but everything else is stock. Would this make any difference to the tune needed, or is it a one size fits all?

How many $ would I be looking at all up (incl shipping of the flasher, etc)?

Cheers, Brad.

Hi Brad,

It's almost as simple as what you've described; when you receive the SRS-II package, simply plug it into your OBD port; it will read your stock engine data and store it within itself.

The next step is that you will need to install the DNA software on a Windows PC and connect it to the SRS-II via supplied USB cable to copy the file from the SRS-II onto your computer which you send to us. The upgraded maps are transferred into your file and we send this upgraded program back to you.

This program is transferred onto the SRS-II again via USB cable, and then the SRS-II is now ready to upgrade your car. You can then switch back and forth without the use of the PC thereafter. The unit, once mated to your car, will identify your VIN and will only ever work with your car.

All instructions and everything you need (other than a Windows PC of course) is included in the package.

In line with current promotional price for the 2.0TFSI, the R32 upgrade software is $730, and $260 for the SRS-II unit including shipping which brings the total to $990.

Intake modified are fine as long as the MAF sensors are left unchanged, so in this case having an EVOMS intake will be totally fine.

If you would like to place an order please contact me, cheers.

Thanks John. Sounds nice and easy, and also somewhat fun. Will you honour that price for another week or two? Payday isn't until the 15th and Santa has first dibs. Am definitely keen though.

Oh yeah, and what happens if I wanted to change the exhaust down the track?

Standard aftermarket catback exhausts will be totally fine; if however you are planning to remove the catalytic converter system or run 100 cell "race cats" you may require a cat-delete recode to stop the warnings and error codes that your ECU will report; but yes otherwise most exhaust modifications will be compatible - in fact I'd recommend it to help the engine breathe a little easier.

And yes, the price will be honoured until the end of the year for sure - I may also consider extending my promotional pricing depending on how many people start taking up the offer! Cheers.

Hi all

I got my 2.0Turbo Passat b6 tuned from John a couple of weeks ago and could not be happier with the result.

Having never tuned/chipped a car or driven a tuned car, i was very sceptical of the final result, but my fears werer put to rest. Probably the best bang-for-your-buck mod out there. Car drives better, revs harder and for longer. Very noticeable difference. The increase of power has not changed the fuel economy either.

Furthermore, John is a top bloke. He is happy to sit and discuss any questions you may have over a beer. One of the most helpful people i have met, he has not only helped greatly with my questions about the tune, but also all other mod related questions.

The excellence of his service extends well beyond post-sale.

Keep up the good work John!

Thanks V for your kind words; glad you're enjoying the car - it really pulls as hard as a chipped GTI; wolf in sheep's clothing indeed.

Happy new year!
