Unless it’s part of a tuners build, don’t deviate and sick with what you have. Did VW make things that can’t be improved, not saying that and all of our venders will agree that there is much to improve, but with that said, you’re buying a functioning car that complies with state and federal laws and is economical to produce and will give you hundreds of thousands of miles with standard maintenance. Intake filters, Emissions controls, and many other grass root / shade tree mods. VW engineers make more money that any of us combined at the job they do for a reason, thousands if not more hours are put into R&D to make things work properly and you or I or almost any of us are not qualified to modify thing to make them better, IE.
#IDP DPF OFF TUNES 6.4 MODS#
I’m curious to what other tuning your talking about and what power mods might you talking about The made the car to be reliable they made it quiet smooth and fuel efficient all those things were done without performance as the primary focus so the end result shows this if you give up some of those things you can focus more on others like making power? I find it weird that a forum like this would basically sit her and say don’t touch your car it’s better off stock? This is the TDI power enhancement section correct?Īlso idk if you have read my previous comments but I have already done the DSG and stage 2 tune. So to say the car isn’t capable because VW made it the best it can be doesn’t even make sense. But alot of cars have the potential to produce more the what they do that’s why there is such a huge market for it. Saying that Volkswagen engineers etc made the car be the best it can be is just silly the car was designed to be an econo station wagen yes. My car is a 2014 TDI sportwagen so no def and it is my weekend car I’m not concerned with mpg as I have stated I’m just looking to make the car a little more exciting to drive. I jumped 3MPG better just be observing how many GPH I was using and tried to use less to do the same work.
If you have a 250hp goal, do what you need to for it, but if you’re trying to get a few more MPG, go buy a scan gauge II and learn what gets you more MPG via driving habits. Not to go down or stir up diesel gate issues, but VW engineers make more money that any of us combined at the job they do for a reason, thousands if not more hours are put into R&D to make things work properly and you or I or almost any of us are not qualified to modify thing to make them better, IE. I know it can be a bit of a pain dealing with additional fluids and regen and lower MPG in the winter but it’s a tradeoff. I would advise to keep it all intact but go with alternative mods. Your new modern TDI's have this stuff resolved for the most part and the reasons many of us deleted ours is now longer necessary for those reasons. Now that we have low sulfur fuels, intake oil and EGR caking is not much of an issue any more and VTN turbo clogging is all but gone unless valve seating, lifter and oil seas are in need of repair. I opted to remove mine for that reason initially but kept with the delete as I put more power mods on and wanted a cleaner intake. The older AHU had the EGR on the intake and a new one was the only solution vs just the part. Most of us older cars do EGR deletes due to issues back in the day like high sulfur fuel and intake cake up and parts difficult to replace for $ return. Unless you’re going with a big power requirement, you will not see any benefits (in your wallet or in power) at all.Ī better set of nozzles and a tune will be about all you care about and will be more than enough to turn your ride into a fun drive. The $ saved in MPG increase will be negated by the cost of service to delete and modify the emissions system. Leave the system intact and do some other power mods with a tune. Bottom line, parts are cheap, doing mods to prolong the life of the engine is fairly pointless unless special circumstances apply.
