DNA Tuning Open Discussion Thread

[DNA Tuning]

Greetings everyone; as a new sponsor for this section of the forum, I would like to invite all VWWC users who have any questions or requests regarding DNA Tuning's products to ask here; I will do my best to answer all questions in as much detail as possible.

As someone who is fairly new to this community; I understand that I may be unaware of the needs of the users on this forum - as such I would love to get input from fellow users.

Feel free to throw any question at me; whether it's regarding availability, model support, pricing, benefits, advantages (and disadvantages), features, options, after-sales support, warranties.

As I am in this for the long haul; I am more than happy to hear any feedback or comments, both positive and negative; in cooperation with DNA Tuning UK I am sure all criticism can be used constructively to better improve our services for the Australian market.

Thankyou to those who have chosen to get their car upgraded with a DNA Tuning ECU program recently; it is much appreciated and I hope you will enjoy it for years to come.

I'll kick off then...

What options do you have for the Golf R? I looked on that website (all prices in pommie pesos by the way), but whilst the VW list was extensive, I couldn't see a listing for the R 2.0L on there. There's a few people on here looking at stuff for the R, so if you could give details, prices, dyno maps etc I'm sure it'd get some interest.

Dear Pepe,

DNA Tuning UK have done some R's already as part of their development phase and are still making some small improvements over time; until this has been finalised, the programs will not be supplied to international dealers. Furthermore, due to limitations in the equipment I currently use, I do not support any of the MK 6 range, but that is soon to change as I will be receiving a number of upgrades from DNA in early 2011.

As much as I would recommend people to wait to see what's in store in the near future, I can totally understand if they opt for one of the existing available options at this stage, such as from APR. I can almost say for sure however that DNA Tuning's R program will be one of the most affordable option when it becomes available, whilst exhibiting high levels of quality, refinement, and power gains that DNA programs have always provided in the past.

I do agree that the website is not tailored well to the regions around the globe; I will pass on comments that I've received from others as well as my own thoughts about it to DNA Tuning HQ to see if some improvements can be made! Cheers!

In the meantime, I will seek to obtain details on power gains, as well as dyno charts and an approximate price on the R upgrade for those who have not made up their mind yet and are willing to wait to explore their options.

The Golf R upgrade should see similar gains to the Audi S3.

If only it was as easy as porting over the Audi S3 remap to fit in the Golf R ECU

I would love to see someone assides from ABT with a Polo tune. I think it's underestimated how popular it could be.
