    WA Scirocco R newbie

    Hi all,

    My name's Lee - from WA. Was driving an Audi B7 A4 quattro but am now the proud new owner of a 2014 VW Scirocco R.

    The car is currently stock but am thinking about a Stage 1 tune in the coming weeks

    Was directed to the forums by staryknight so hopefully I'll be learning lots from you all during my VW journey!

    Congratulations on the new purchase and welcome to VWW!

    I can strogly recommend stage 1 tune. Not sure which tuner you're looking to go with by my RD Technik tuned Scirocco put out 205kwaw with just a stage 1 tune.

      Thanks tigger73

      Ramp Auto in WA have quoted $1295 for a Custom Stage 1 remap which should give a 65hp/80nm gain.

      Any thoughts?

        Most of the workshops are just reselling overseas tunes. The only tuner that I'm aware of that is writing files here in Australia for local conditions is RD Technik.

        I beleive they have just got a dealer in WA and some decent specials on. DP, ECU tune, DSG tune, crackle map for $2,190 forthe Scirocco R (plus fitment cost for the DP).

        I know they were doing the stage 1 ECU and stage 3 DSG tune for $1,495 before which is when I got my car tuned. My stage 1 with DSG was putting out 205kwaw on a hard to please mainline dyno. More than a custom tuned stage 2 Scirocco with $10k hardware mods.

        Stage 1 RD Technik = green, stage 2 custom tune = red.
