If you have had your van tuned, what company did you go with and what was the result?

I have felt the same about my 08 compared to the 05. My 08 is 4motion and the 05 was FWD.

The difference between the two is huge.
I could tow a caravan up a massive hill (wilunga) faster than i can get up there with the 08.

I even had the new one dyno'd its putting out 100kw but still feels so different.


I think they have a different turbo and dont produce the same torque

Anyone else have simmilar??

I do now Autologic performance tunes. Currently have it in my T5 4Motion and I like it. I can do you a special deal, so you can test it and pass the comment.

The difference that I've noticed is that with al tune the turbo is not on the boost right from the idle, like with some other brands. So, the longevity of the turbocharger and the engine is less affected.

Thanks i will call you later today.
I have just had the main mufler replaced yesterday with a hot dog. It feels quite a bit diferent, as in it seems to spool up easier. With the remap it should be even better.

Just had the Autologic remap installed by Transporter and thought i would share my experience.
First the information about the options i had re Visel? and Aoutologic was very well explained and no pressure was felt about choising the right options for what i needed/wanted.
I chose the Autologic as it gave me a good balance between power and long term reliability.
Driving the car has become a joy once again as i was not happy with the power difference between the FWD model i had and this AWD.
It now has more responce and drivability than the FWD.
Going up Willunga hill i am able to use a gear higher and still have power in reserve.
In trafic i am changing gears now at 1800rpm as before it was 2300 due to the larger tyres i have fitted.
Going up an incline i no longer need to think about changing down or applying more accelator. It just doesnt notice it.
The fuel use is a little higher at this stage mainly due to me loving the feeling of being pushed into the seat. I am sure it will get better as i lighten my foot.
So do yourself a favour and go the remap option

Whilst searching the web I found this

Pretty impressive. Hate to think what this would cost. They fit an Audi motor in it. Check out some of the acceleration videos on youtube, they will blow you away.

Does anyone know if any of the engine tunes are potentially possible on DSG-equiped vans? I heard that DSG includes something called "Torque Limiter", which might mean some sort of conflict whereby more Nm from the engine tune may not be allowed thru by the DSG? There are places offering a service of removing Torque Limiter. If someone could explain this, would be great.
