2011 TSI Special from DNA Tuning Australia

DNA Tuning Australia is proud to announce its first special offer for 2011. It has been a long time coming; sincerest apologies to those who have been patiently waiting for this announcement.

Thanks to VWWC's support over the last 5 months, DNA Tuning Australia has been able to commence transition to a new range of tuning equipment and technologies that will support a range of new and existing VW models.

Collaborating with DNA Tuning Headquarters in the UK, here are our first offerings for TSI models this year. All prices will be valid until the end of this financial year. Please note that some offerings will not be available until mid-March.

NEW TSI Engines:

• 77TSI: 77kW / 175Nm -> 100kW / 220Nm $830
• 90TSI: 90kW / 200Nm -> 118kW / 250Nm $830
• 118TSI: 118kW / 240Nm -> 155kW / 300Nm $930
• 1.4 TSI GTI: 132kW / 250Nm -> 155kW / 300Nm $930

All "older" TSI ECU upgrades will be offered at a flat rate of $730.

To be eligible for the upgrade, please register your interest as soon as possible by sending an email to dnatuning.aus@gmail.com. Include in your email your name, contact number, car make/model/year, and your location.

To make things interesting; the first 10 customers in Melbourne with any TSI engine will be given free before and after dyno runs (subject to certain conditions/criteria). These dyno runs will be used for future DNA Tuning Australia advertising material and to adjust performance specifications.

All services and upgrades provided are 100% reversible and are covered by a full 14 day money back satisfaction guarantee.

Hey Gav,
Is that $930 installed? for • 1.4 TSI GTI: 132kW / 250Nm -> 155kW / 300Nm
This might be cheaper than the APR ECU upgrade (which is not released yet). What do you think...should we go for it?

[gavs]

Not sure mate, the original post is in the ecu tuning part if the forum. I'm still a bit unsure regarding the life of the dsg box with over 250nm running through it... Might wait to see who's car blows up overseas first

[Azzamataz]

Very interesting. Cheap power upgrade. I would be interested in the extra 50nm for the 77tsi.

Is it an ecu upgrade that cannot be changed back to normal?

"All services and upgrades provided are 100% reversible"

[yas786]

Im certainly interested. But no mention of it being hidden from prying eyes to avoid loss of warranty?

[gavs]

Yeah, I believe that's one of the beauties of the APR setup, though we would have to check with guy first....

Hey azzamataz, you interested in joining in here? We currently have around 15 cars I believe...

So what is the consensus? DNA or APR? considering one would be nearly half the price of the other.

[Azzamataz]

Hey ill let you know about the Cruise. Got a bit going on at the moment.
Spoke to DNA, upgrade is reversible if you need a warranty done on the drive train but at "a small fee"

[sVWatt]

Hi,
What's the consensus ? Anyone added some DNA to their VW Polo ?

Eagerly waiting...

After asking a couple of questions in the tuning section...:

Hey guys

Wanted to leave some feed back on the DNA tune that I received from john on my 2010 polo 77tsi.

So I got the new program put in by John on Thursday(10th) and have had it for a few days driving now. Like all of you I was a little hesitant at first but after meeting John and having a chat I was happy to proceed to see what sort of output we were able to get. The biggest impression it has left on me is just how smooth the car is running, which is quite surprising for a brand new car. I found that before the reflash it was jerky in first gear especially and even between the gear changes but the upgrade has somehow eliviated this issue.

The engine is happy to keep revving until you want it to now and power delivery is quite noticeable. You can literally hear the spooling up of the turbo which you couldn't before. Love this!!!! It has made the car alot easier to drive in alot of ways and hasn't lost that daily driveability which was important to me.

The Numbers provided by John I suppose are proof of the increase but in the car while driving there is deifinately a massive change in the way the engine is performing. We are yet to put the car on a Dyno to get some accurate figures on this and will keep everyone updated as to what the results are.

Until then I cannot recommend John highly enough for the way he handled all the million questions I had for him as well as the ease of the entire process.

Happy to answer any questions anyone might have as well....

Cheers Guys

To which, John at DNA replied......

Vin, thankyou very much for the kind words - it means alot and I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the car! It's amazing how the first thing I noticed was that the car idled better - at first I thought I was imagining it, but when we both agreed on it I knew it wasn't just placebo effect! The 77 TSI is a nice little package already; really all it needed was some more poke to turn it into something truly great.

gavs; you can feel free to trial our software for 14 days - payment is required upfront but as with every customer I offer a full 14 day money-back satisfaction guarantee. Not to discredit APR's product of course, but I too never found the need to switch to stock when I first bought my S4 with an APR chip; I mean, the right foot is there to control the power anyway.

So to me, dependent on the APR figures, DNA looks like a very promising prospect

[sVWatt]

Awesome to read - cheers
John is going to post me up the DIY kit next month.
Itchy itchy - gotta scratch ...

So you have taken the plunge?!
