    Hi all,

    Got a preliminary response from Evolve-Technik this afternoon.
    The info is minimal at this stage but promising.

    Their tuner in Germany does have tunes available for the R36. Their high output tune in combination with an exhaust system will provide an additional 30HP.
    He doesn't have the torque figures for me yet nor pricing but I've requested it ASAP so I can pass it on to all of you.
    There are no exhaust systems in production for the R36 at the moment so they'll need to source one in order to provide the full power increase. He's going to look into this for me and get back to me.

    We may have more pull in the pricing department if we can arrange a group buy. Don't know if anyone is interested in that but it's worked well for me with previous cars.

    That's all for now. As soon as I get more I'll post it.

    Cheers
    Sean

    I would be interested in the upgrades.

    Also l got a price for a jetex exhaust for the passat r36 which blew me away. It cost $6000 (fitted). If any one is interested eurocardriver is the company.

    That's insane. Is it gold plated or does it come with a 19yo virgin?

    Whats exactly wrong with getting a professional exhaust shop to fabricate a nice high flow exhaust with some good domestically produced mufflers ?

    Oettinger will be re visiting the Passat R36 tuning in the coming months. Unfortunately that's all they had to say at this stage!

    Nothing in theory. But you run the risk of drone or other annoying sounds. You are basically a test bed for the new exhaust. Been there done that.

    I'd prefer a tried and tested system. JMHO
