No. It's actually increased significantly. ~+6mpg however I've had a difficult time keeping my foot off the pedal...
Standard with a DPF delete.
The reason why is during regen the car actually dumps more fuel into the exhaust stroke to increase the heat in the exhaust.
Ain't emissions laws grand?
That is all disabled in the tune. No regens occur
Exactly that was my point. The increase in fuel mileage is due to the fact that regen isn't happening or needed.
Do you have vag-com? IF you do, you mind running the readiness test after a drive? I want to see if any of the monitors are not ready.
That is all disabled in the tune. No regens occur
so are you saying that most of mileage increase is due to the tune and not so much the dpf delete
no its due to both. Less restriction + no extra fuel injected for regens.
Well also less restriction. I mean look at all the crap that was behind that turbo!
How do you like the K-Sports? I had a set on my 07 GTI and I hated them. They were great on the track but I was never able to get them anywhere near acceptable for daily driving.
Car looks great and sounds even better! I'll be picking up a 4-door BGM 6MT TDI this week!
Sweet I was finally able to look at the vids once I got home.
Curious at the in car video as well. Also I wonder what will happen at your dealer next time you're there.
Do you know what happens with the EGR during these tunes/downpipes?
Any CEL lights or any other warning lights?
Any drivability concerns? I noticed in your vids you tend to give it gas abruptly when you back up... is that just to show off the sound or is the car kind of stalling?
