Both tuners also had difficulty correcting for the. As far as requesting max power, both tuners told me straight up that anything over 1.5 tune would put my turbo in jeopardy. All I did was offer up my info and what my experiences were between the 2 tunes. Gentleman, and Ladies if your here too, please don't get me wrong here, I'm not bashing anyone. The end result is a tune that's perfectly tailored to the car. I prefer the safe approach: Reliability first (with boost check), performance second. Some BEW/BRM TDI will boost creep at roughly 3800+ RPM with just +5HP! Especially with a turbo-back exhaust upgrade. First they load Stage 2 and then check boost - if there's overboost they can immediately switch to the safer Stage 1 or Stage 1.5. If their 2004-2006 TDI customers want our Stage 2 re-tune, the dealers ask me to send both Stage 1 and Stage 2. A couple of my dealers have seen enough BEW turbo failures from different tunes. Although the excess boost can improve power and reduce smoke, it affects turbo longevity. There is a shocking number of tuned BEW/BRM TDIs out there with boost creep. Phyrmn/Kevin, if there's anything I can do make up for this, let me know. It's probably my fault for not proactively sending him a stronger tune in the end. Phyrmn ultimately expressed his satisfaction with the tune once the cruise control was fixed. The client's main concern was fixing his cruise control with his 5th gear upgrade, so we mostly focused on that and we used "LESS FUEL" in the meantime. I believe Phyrmn actually ordered a Stage 2 tune from me and I originally sent him two tunes, a "LESS FUEL" version and "MORE FUEL" version. His 100HP tune could have reported 120HP on a more optimistic dyno, and his 120HP RC tune could have reported 140HP on the optimistic dyno. Phyrmn may have used a "heartbreak" dyno, like the one at TDIFest.
