Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Google Guy Harding and Harding Performance, and specifically look at Motor Magazine's hot tuner shootouts over the years. He has forgotten more about tuning VAG cars than what the rest of the industry combined knows .... he has dominated the tuner shootouts in various VAG cars.

    OEM+ has a milder mid range than an APR tune (for better driveability) with a top end that is equal to any other tune out there, especially on the Scirocco R.

    You have to remember that an ECU has many maps with many many tables and a good tune takes a long time to develop as many many points need to be tweaked (a couple of hundred at least) to ensure engine reliability, driveability and obviously, power. Any "custom" tuner that makes 10 or 20 changes on a few dyno runs cannot even begin to compare.

      Evening all,

      Excuse the stupid question but this is all very new to me. What's the purpose of a down pipe and why upgrade?
