So now i have to decide who gets my money. I'll let you know what happens tomorrow afternoon when I pull the ECU.

If you're just doing immo delete, I'd recommend someone more affordable. I had very similar responses from Kerma, actually much worse. Charlie is beyond arrogant. Be sure to check out the other players as well. Rocketchip is amazing, and Mike at TDTUNING handles the more extreme builds of TDI Club.

You might also consider a tuner who will give free retunes. I imagine you'll be changing nozzles, MAP sensors, turbos, etc over the life of the truck.

Sounds like you're staying with eTDI, which is good to hear. You won't be disappointed. With just a set of $150 nozzles, the ALH turns into an incredible motor.

There's a guy in Rockford MI that has a side line business doing things to TDI's. A friend works with him in the Engineering firm where he has his day job. Might be a good source for parts and info. Shoot me a PM if you are interested and I can locate contact info.

You can embed your videos in your post so they don't link to youtube.



You just put {youtube} {/youtube} with the square brackets instead of curly braces. The part in the middle is everything after the = in the url.

Good job on the harness. Those can bit a windy brittle pita.

Well that makes perfect sense. On my desktop it just shows links to your videos. Not a big deal, just thought I'd share
