I’m tempted to do this conversion. Mine is 5 years and 150,000 miles and remapped since new (288bhp). Zero has gone wrong with it . I never have to top it up with oil between services. Also no apparent power loss over the 150k miles. Should i chance it? I’d obviously need a price for you to complete the job.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Miles seems to have little bearing on condition of the engine itself.

I have the same vehicle and mines quicker than the s3 golf r etc I purchased it from a Toyota dealership but found out that the previous owners were as tuning company. Called them they said it was their pool car and they didn’t remap it. 😅 but clearly faster than any hot hatch as I found on the road I was leaving them in the dust.

How many exhaust gases compared to the serial with DPF? I live in Germany and is difficult without DPF . Is possible Hybrid turbo und upgrade DPF :))

[@DarksideDevelopments]

No extra visible smoke and most tests won't detect but things are getting stricter! I think the hybrid will be OK with stock DPF

[@GeraldBoyes]

⁠Do you have the hybrids now in stock and can you confirm they can be a straight swap with the dpf in place?

[@TheP05tm4n]

Guys, have you discovered a permanent fix for the actuator being stuck open on these? (P22D200). Its becoming common in the Passat FB groups. You guys originally resolved it for me by freeing some carbon build up on the actuator (and then mapped the car) but it lasted less than a year until the next limp mode. I would love to know if there's a reliable solution. I'm currently loosening it with penetrating oil which gives me about 2 months of use before limp mode again. Could it be as simple as replacing the actuator/s?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Unfortunately not, I don't think changing the parts like for like will cure the problem. It will likely make a difference for longer but due to the design I think the same will happen again at some point.

[@TheP05tm4n]

@@DarksideDevelopments Ok thanks. Will my mechanic need to remove the whole turbo like in this video to be able to get at the actuator arms and grease them up again?

Curious to know why the Passat bitdi doesn’t have launch control? I’ve tried 2 different dsg tuners and neither can activate it, seems the same in this one also you have to brake boost it, I’ve seen launch control on other B8 Passats

[@DarksideDevelopments]

You brake boost all of them anyhow!

[@michaelcrozier5178]

@@DarksideDevelopments yes I know that but there is no specific launch control program like say the golf R, as just holding the brake and accelerating still makes the car want to go before releasing the brake

[@TheProGameSTYLE]

Turn traction control all the way off, turn off auto hold, put it in sport, push brake hard and that is it... it will be in launch control. Its different feeling when you brake boost it and when you manage to do launch control so you will know you did it

[@covingtonrace1]

Why is there so many pipes and cables these days???? Never had that on my old diesels. Or do they run everything across the top of the Engine for access?

No, they run them everywhere and access is terrible!

Its because the manufacturers want you to go to the dealer when it breaks.

Alright, so I have a Passat B8 2015 Variant (DDAA), basically looks the same under the hood and I'm about to do a DPF Delete with a new race cat. However, on my downpipe, on the OG cat I have the AdBlue system (SCR). How would one go about removing this? I mean, ofc I can program the car to not use the adblue system but wouldn't that mean the cables/hoses and stuff are just open/free in the engine compartment? I don't find much info about B8's(or EA288) overall when it comes to exhaust and these kind of stuff. Thanks Jimmy

Removing the software should be enough, this is all we normally do
