So this pretty much makes it a no brainer for me.... Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me.... my birthday's not for a while... but I'll treat myself now anyway.

Alex, I assume this is also good for a DSG model? I'd like to get this asap.

Im sure Alex will provide a better answer, but i know his development GTI is DSG so you will be in good hands. I bought the F23t package, water methanol and brake rotors from Alex, great choice and customer service.

If you want to bastardize your car with mixed components from various manufacturers, sure the math may not make sense for Stage 2. For me, I like to stick to one company where they do most of their tests using their own hardware. So in this case, it makes a lot of sense to me.

This is probably the dumbest thing I've read in a while..... You're limiting your potential sticking to one company. Different companies make the best parts for different areas of the car..... By recognizing that any buying said parts.... you are maximizing potential, not limiting it.

Sorry I know this is an old post in this thread. Just had to comment.

Yeah, he'd hate my car. In the suspension alone I'll have products from four different companies.

Yes, for $700 a single map pro-tune is included. That means that we start with a Stratified tune that we have developed on our own GTI through hours of testing and thousands of miles of refinement. From there we use specific data from your car. I send you a tuning form where you fill out your modifications, fuel, and what you want out of the tune. If you want something with a very flat torque curve we can do this. If you want something punchy we can do this too.

After this you load the Stratified tune on your car and grab datalogs based on our instructions. I analyse the data and refine the tune based on your driveability feedback as well as exact data coming from your car with your fuel and your modifications. We then go through a refining process of several back and forth logs and map updates until the tune is complete.

I am not a believer of winter and summer tunes. A car should work well year-round so the goal is to have a tune that performs well in all conditions. If you use different fuel types (91 and 93, or E85) that will require a second map.

You can store an "unlimited" number of tunes on the AP and unlimited number of logs. Of course there is a limit but I haven't heard of anyone reaching it and that is with logging multiple full track sessions and holding 30-40 maps at a time.

Finally you always have access to the OTS tunes. As well as the OEM tune. I like to think that you will enjoy the Stratified tune the most but you always have access to those as well.
