Tunes need an intake to take advantage. So add that on top of your purchase.

Yes necessarily. Without better airflow enjoy your useless tune.

Generally tuning an na car your not going to feel much of a difference unless your making major modifications to the engine. With that said the first person to figure out how to let us manual guys rev past 6500ish will be getting my monies lol.

Doesn't an SRI + UM tune get you to 7500 rpm redline?

But that's not paying 6-700 for a tune that's paying 200ish for an intake and 250-350 for a tune. And most people that are interested i. Getting a tune more than likely already have an intake.

I was always wondering if UM does custom tuning, as in if you can drive down to their shop and throw your car on a dyno instead of mailing the ecu. For example what if you have an SRI, headers, test pipe and an exhaust maybe injectors and a fuel pump. I'm sure the tune will be different than if you just had an SRI? no?

But what about rev-hang? I heard a tune will generally help.

its more than just the rev hang... its improved driveability.

The car becomes more lively.

just stumbled onto this thread while looking at tune options for the 2.5. Has anyone ran this Malone tune yet?

I'm interested as well. Since this thread is over 3 years old there must be some peeps with experience with this product.

Thanks for the advice, it would be interesting if someone did a comparison of the tunes.

Hope I don't get flamed...

But I'm going to bump this, I can't see the pic that was posted (I'm guessing a dyno sheet?)

Really haven't seen/heard definitive experiences with specific tunes. For me I have a p-flo, and I would say less than 400 would be worth some extra drive-ability seeing as I'll probably have the car for another couple years until I have the money for a TDI/GTI (Leaning towards one of those used 2015 TDIs that use DEF)

Thanks
