I've taken my Volkswagen dealer for a drive in my R... actually, I let me original sales guy drive MY modded car. (He laughed at how nervous he was and how he totally understands now why people hate sales guys going along for the "test drive"). But as Buller_Scott mentioned. Any sales guy / service guy who is genuinely interested in cars, especially VW's, at least to me, have been very receptive to responsibly modified cars...

What Corey said

Another thing I found out is that VGA re-imburse dealerships for warranty work so it's almost like it's in the best interests of the dealer to do your warranty work instead of flat out refusing....

it doesnt matter to me if you dont have your car yet. i can come along to introduce myself sometime, show you the handset etc etc and change maps right infront of you (or if you want, we can go for a stock vs fun map back to back).

We coud even do some rolling drag comparisions between stock, economy, performance road and track/race maps since Buller_Scott & I have the same car and same tuning boxes (we both have performance road but his other Viezu/ChippedUK map is the trackrace while mine is the economy).

But the bottom line is that the SRS-II will do EXACTLY the same thing with DNA-Tuning maps so you have loads of flexibility for quite low cost (vs some other options).

Wow it's very nice to have so many questions automatically answered by other forum users; thanks alot for the help and support!

Just so people don't get confused here; the SRS-II is currently not compatible with the 77TSI so for those who want the switchability, unfortunately it is not yet an option (I also cannot confirm whether or not SRS-II will be made compatible with the 77TSI in the future).

Hey guys. A few months on since getting my tune done by john at DNA and still very happy with the results. Can't whipe the smile off my face every time I get in the car.

Have not had any issues at all with the way the car is running.

As far as fuel economy, I have deifnately noticed a change for the better. It may not be a massive difference but it is certainly there.

Looking forward to getting it on a dyno to see the figures and planning the next few mods in my head as the days go by.

Any recent updates to DNA TUNES FOR A ........2012 POLO GTI 6R Were can you get this done i am on the Gold coast .?

[VWplo]

does anyone know how far DNA tuning has gotten with the `1.2 tsi. does it have switchability yet? is it compatable with a car that i bought on the 25th of january as ive been told later models may have a updated ecu?

HI john
the DNAtuning sounds good to me! is DNA tuning available in sydney? i'm yet to get my tsi software updated and actuator spacer fitted for the recall, plan to go to dealer when my next service is due which is 7000km away. do i need to get the software updated first then get the DNAtuning? my car is running a bit rough when idle, will dnatunning rectify the problem

Hi to all the Polo owners,

I just found this thread while searching for something else. I thought id share this with you. I had my Golf R tuned by John @ DNA Tuning back in March, and the car had a very noticeable boost in power over both the stock tune and also the Bluefin tune i had previously. The tune is nice and smooth, and has heaps more torque than before.

A few weeks ago, i took the car to a dyno day in Sydney to see how my car would compare to others with similar modifications. Basically the DNA tune trumped everything else with same/similar mods. The only car that was very similar was a Audi S3 which had APR 1 tune (with HPFP and intake) - although he has spent about $1k more what i have on mods. The S3 made 206kw.

All other stage 1 and stage 2 (GIAC / Revo etc) cars were between 180kw - 190kw. My DNA tuned car made 204kw/354nm!!

Ive created a thread here with the dyno sheet and a short video, as well as some feedback - if anyone is interested >> http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...ack-71468.html

Are you soon to be a reseller Lucas

Are you soon to be a reseller Lucas

Haha no not at all - although I might come across that way I guess....?. I'm just a happy customer and trying to make people aware that they can get a good tune for a reasonable price.

When I was researching different tunes, I found plenty of threads on European forums that had been started regarding tunes, but were incomplete or abandoned etc. This was quite frustrating as there were no dyno results or feedback in general once the car had been tuned (this goes for other tune brands too - not just DNA).

So I thought I would show my results on this forum and the vwgolf.net forum and share my feedback with others and aid in helping others who might do a Google search at a later stage.

A few weeks ago, i took the car to a dyno day in Sydney to see how my car would compare to others with similar modifications. Basically the DNA tune trumped everything else with similar mods. The only car that was very similar was a Audi S3 which had APR 1+ tune (with HPFP and intake) - although he has spent double what i have on mods. The S3 made 206kw.

All other stage 1 and stage 2 (GIAC / APR / Revo etc) cars were between 180kw - 190kw. My DNA tuned car made 204kw!!

Actually as far as i understand, the S3 was the only APR car there & had an intake / pump / stage 1 software on board made 206kw (and more torque than your car?) and it had NO intercooler or NO exhaust mods. I also understand your car had an exhaust & Intake?

Let us know a full list of what all

"All other stage 1 and stage 2 (GIAC / APR / Revo etc) cars were between 180kw - 190kw."

please (as you state). I understand you are happy with your car, but you are stretching the truth a bit here.
