subie3429 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 IMO I would just get a protune from someone. It will get you more power and depending on who you go to, will save you some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithk831 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 IMO I would just get a protune from someone. It will get you more power and depending on who you go to, will save you some money. Protune (i.e. Road Tune) or an e-tune. Also, get a CNT downpipe. Can't beat the quality for the $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the road tune, check your local forum for anyone who might do those. But there are also some reputable e-tuners here such as Infamous and 311logan311 (True Tune). I have had both tunes done and I liked Logan's better. But it's up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwindle07 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Do you need to buy any parts prior to getting a protune or do most reputable tuners have all of the equipment needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 You should have your own hardware because you ought to be able to datalog every now and then to make sure the car is running fine under different conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbone Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Yes. Cheap-ass laptop that can run ROMRaider plus a $15 VAG-Com OBD cable off eBay. Which cable is listed in the datalog how to sticky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoniram Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yes, cheap cable and tune service from Infamous Performance (via m sprank). I recently posted a complete how-to guide on using that cable with Infamous Performance's tunes. Should be pretty straight forward http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/complete-beginners-guide-e-tuning-vendor-and-vag-com-cable-158118.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
