BOMB = Better Off Modified Baby

things you have done to increase the functionality of you vehicle

 

OOHH ! !
Probably will disqualify me then since I am a 'stock' person; and have been ever since my Model 'A' days in the 50-60's.
Bummer !

Just bought a new Jetta TDI. Thinking about buying the HPA DSG Flash and/or Bully Dog Rapid Power Module 44633.

 

i would stay away from bully dog. not the best tuner in the tdi aftermarket by a longshot. not many people tuning the new cbea engine. you sure those companys are doing a reflash

 

Woody35,

Thanks for the heads-up on the BullyDog...

The DSG flash by HPA seems to be a worthy upgrade, I won't be using the sports/racing features but my thinking is the quicker shifts will produce a slight mpg increase along with extending the life of the trans/internals/clutches:

HPA Motorsports Inc. - DSG Performance Programming

Has anyone done this with their DSG? Anyone think this is a feasable upgrade?

 

Well that really depends... If you service your car at a dealer that does Audi and Porche you can have them do this with a reflash - same computer, same transmission in the Audi / VW and same diesel motor in both as well.

That won't cost you $900 large but there is a cost to it. Plug and play modules are easier to do and cheaper as well.

 

I haven't been able to find much in the way of chips, programmers or flashes, I'm guessing it's b/c the technology is still new with these engines/ecu's.

 

On a 2010 - maybe. Check the EU websites.

I would check with diesel tuning (do a google search, its the company that builds the best plug and play for the TDI from germany, sold here). Also, check out Kerma TDI and there's another place in Oregon, USA that escapes me at the moment but they may be able to help.

Maybe even evolution imports (around the corner from me here in Canada) might be able to help you.

 

06 Jetta TDI, bought it a year ago with 40k mi, has 63k now, no problems, great daily driver, wicked gas mileage and fun to drive. Once truck is done (yeah right, is there such a thing?), I'll start modding the Jetta.

edit - almost forgot. G60 - well done. I'm jealous.
