MK6/Mk5 CR TDI Malone Tuning Stage 2 - Review

[@VitaKaay]

This was perfect info for my sportwagen.

While it’s not false that 0.1 & 1 are to maximize efficiency. I would reword that and add stg 2 is 100% power orientated as stg2 is required when that bump in road is hit and the stuff falls off (iykyk). So stage 2 would add the most efficiency..especially over the life of the vehicle.

Fix the glow plugs to day the glow plugs have a function when the engine is running and are warm

i've had stage 2 for 13 years on my golf 6 tdi.

Link in the description should take you to the tunes for purchase!

[@jonathanpasquale4331]

In MA we have emissions sniff and obd2 check for readyness of emissions components. Are there any tunes that will support a full delete and give me the readyness codes i need for inspection?

[@ThatGuyTyy]

Unfortunately any tuner from a company that wants to stay in business won’t have readiness set ever, that is the biggest “No-No” about tuning diesels with emission deletes

[@zomgz932]

Tunezilla/malone has a dynamic egr tune egr is only used for startup/warm up.

[@heyoitssky1191]

When I was ordering my tune from Stevenson tuning there was an option for readiness

[@ThatGuyTyy]

@heyoitssky1191 lol that’s super against the law 🫣

[@heyoitssky1191]

@@ThatGuyTyy Im not saying it isn't just saying it was an option because that is what he was looking for I also thought it was a bit weird as an option to offer 😂

No DSG tune? My mk6 CJAA is about to run out of warranty.. Researching Darkside & Malone for next build.

[@ThatGuyTyy]

DSG is tuned!

[@kendalcrist4181]

What DSG tune did you use, and were you able to upload it via the PG3 programmer?

[@ThatGuyTyy]

Tunezilla/ Malone DSG Tune as well to Match, used their in-house tools for tune uplisting

What year is this Jetta

[@eviloctober]

My adblue injector needs replaced and dealer wants 1000.00 because I voided the warranty. I am thinking of going full delete and tune

[@ThatGuyTyy]

Your DPF and cats in your factory exhaust will pay for all of the mods you’ll need for a delete kit 😬

[@mchipman7879]

How'd you void the warranty? I've been thinking about getting a tune but worried about the emissions warranty

[@calhorn9885]

@@ThatGuyTyy where did you sell your used parts too? How much did you get for them ?

[@LaytonEstates]

If I have a manual trans, would this tune do me any good?

[@alanbowen3943]

I did stg2 on my 14' golf TDI manual and love it. Similar performance gain as far as I can tell. Might have lost a few mpg but I'm using more power. DPF and EGR delete are likely next as I'm getting fault codes for both

Your engine light is on

[@peterboldt3131]

stage 2 tune 80 to 140 was downhill there fore giving you an inaccurate reading

[@living4adrenaline]

That's stupid, you need a bigger turbo to make reasonable benefits with stage 2.

[@ThatGuyTyy]

Stage 2 is downpipe, stage 3 is bigger turbo…

[@papasmurph4661]

Nobody says that. CR140 is fine up to stage 2, CR170 is needed for stage 3. Having a ton of fun in my FBO stage 2 A3
