are tunes availible for the TDI Mk7 Golf's yet?
I've ordered a DTUK 'plug n play' for my 103TDI CR Yeti and I've just looked to see where it will intercept the system.
I've looked at DTUK's pics of how to install and now think it looks impossible to get to the turbo related sensor wiring which on mine (if the pics are correct) is buried low on the front of the engine between piping and the block with access limited to a ~4cm gap twix radiator and turbo air supply to the inlet manifold.
A plastic 'braided' small loom goes down and out of sight so I'm thinking I might need a pro to install it.
Any chance someone knows where it is and how to get to it considering the impossibly small gap? (and I've got smallish hands too)
Hi
I have one installed in my Octavia RS and it is a pain to fit the bottom connector.I used an old coathanger bent up at the end to remove the plug then its just fits inline.The hardest part is getting the bottom connector. Someone said its takes only 5 mins, but with all the stuffing around it took me an hour.
I've since found out that the CRD-e , being the economy biased version doesn't have the turbo related lower plug which is a huge relief as there was no way I could see or access the connector unless I removed the lower tray and did it from underneath the car.
5mins....yeah right!

I've got the Stage 2 Revo TDI tune on the 125TDI (as stated earlier )
Its amazing.
That being said, I've also got a manual (with 550Nm tq limit).
0-100 times don't feel that much faster, but when you're sitting in traffic all doing 60 in an 80 zone, and you spot a gap, just push half throttle and *bam* you're there.
Happy to take anyone for a spin if they're in Sydney/Wollongong

Does stage 2 require a DPF delete?

According to the revo website, Stage2 does, however DPF deletes in Australia are illegal (so i'm lead to believe). Given the gains aren't that dramatically different over the Revo Stage1 tune, I wouldn't bother imo.
I'm still tossing up tunes from Tarmac vs Viezu (via Carformance) for my 103TDI, probs go with Viezu though. Waiting until I have word about a grad job before I do anything though.
See my thread on VWG: TDI Tuning - Viezu vs Tarmac etc
