^lol me too! and you dont even have to pay me, just buy me ANY ONE of those cars you mentioned and im set, ur choice!

 

I hope you're not mistaking an Uprev tune as a "tune-up", which are two different things.

Uprev will set you back about $600, plus the cost of dyno tuning (unless you e-tune).

A tune-up, as normally defined, will vary depending on your dealership or if you do things yourself.

 

no im not mistaking a tune up with a tune... the tuner near me is charging 650 for a custom dyno tune actually 5 custom dyno tunes


also buy your cars cash it saves alot of headache in the long run. everything i have is paid for so i have no overhead and i can play with what i want when i want. only probis i like to switch vehicles alot im on #38 right now and im just 30years old

 

^ I was responding to GryDe06

 

^^^ i must have had a blonde moment

 

since you abviously enjoy lots of hp, i have a strong feeling its not gonna be long before you cant resist modding your G they are very addicting cars...

 

well thats why ive been fighting this car for a while. i dont mind playing with the other ones. this car you dont see much gain for what you put into it, how many guys on here have spent less than 5k and doubled the power of the cars?

 

^ sadly this is very true, but for 5k you can almost double it with GTM SC 500whp!

 

i got the tune today. the car responded very well. i gained a peak of 25whp for the auto awd thats not bad at all. way more than i expected. but more importantly the a/f was so rich we pulled out tons and the car is sipping fuel now. i avg. 19.2 mpg on the way to the shop. and 23.8 on the way home. im going to see what the next week gets me so i know better how much this improved my mpg's but its a good sign that its working better.

 

Who, where and how much was your tune?

 

dsg and 550, i did forget to get the sticker for my window. not sure how it would look on this car. but i think it needs a little show with all the new go

 

Frankly, this defies conventional wisdom regarding these cars. I'm not calling BS, but seriously, if there was another 25whp and better gas mileage available from these engine, I cannot for the life of me imagine that the manufacturer wouldn't have tweaked it out for themselves.

When you said you wanted to get a tune to improve gas mileage, I didn't expect you would realize much if any there (certainly NOT 8 or 9 mpg) , as they already factory tune them with a distinct bias toward economy and emissions. Additionally, and as has been said previously, it would also be expected that any economy gains would most like have a performance price as well. Conversely, if you were tuning for power, I could see gaining proportionately more there due to the bias of the original factory tune, but then ONLY at the sacrifice of some economy.

Call me a doubter, but until I see some serious proof of these fantastic results you're reporting here, that you indeed got both power and economy simultaneously, I remain unconvinced.

Can u post the dyno stuff please and thanks

 

I would tend to agree, seeing as how the car is essentially stock.

I've seen cars with exhaust and HFC's getting those types of gains, but not on a stock car (at least not one I can remember).

If getting 25WHP was as simple as a $500 tune, we'd ALL have done that by now.

 

yeah seems doubtful,, but for 25 more hp and 5 more mpg,, sign me up
