I'm only here for the entertainment, so I'll chime in with "neither is the Prius"... it aint no 1.4L
I'd guess maybe 485-500 with stock turbo. No idea what his current turbo will add, maybe another 20-40 torque, I wouldn't guess any higherWhere did you get that TQ number.
No I was just curious because I have a Stage 2 Malone, need to remove the DPF system.let's not get bug down with power and torque figures, it is irreverent to my point. What matters is how it drives, and it is awesome & fun lol
I can settle for stock figures if it makes anyone happy. 240HP & 406ft is still a hell lot more than most AWD cars and cannot reach the fuel consumption I posted. I couldn't even do that with my impreza (2.5 NA). it is golf sportwagen 4motion territory, but MUCH bigger and heavier.
If not an R it won't Break Ya NeckNo I was just curious because I have a Stage 2 Malone, need to remove the DPF system.
The difference between stage 2 and stage 3 with delete is far more important than from stock to stage 2. I don't know about the feel difference between stage 2 to stage 2 with deleted. I don't expect the snail to be a game changer considering the minimal size difference, maybe 25HP-ish and an almost imperceptible 100-200 RPM shift in powerband.
Sound has a big play in the impression of speed as you get more feedback lol.
As you might expect, I am still very happy about the decisions/changes that I have made. Nothing else in mind, with the only exception of the window trim & front grill chrome delete. Maybe.
No I didn't check if it was lying. I would have need to fill up, highway drive then fill again to get good measures. I did highway, mountain-ish spirited drive, then highway back home. Even if it is 10% off, I would still consider this good.@zambony
All jokes aside, have you confirmed the lie-o-meter consumption you're seeing with a manual calculation?
Is it even close?
I'm not liking these fuel prices so I'm only interested in deletes\mods to pick up some FE if anything.
I went from 100% stockDidn't you go right into deleted and bypassed stage 2 with emissions intact?
With stock tire size my computer was 2-4mpg off every tank. Huge difference.No I didn't check if it was lying. I would have need to fill up, highway drive then fill again to get good measures.

There is no way the cost of the extra hardware + tune is offset by extra fuel efficiency. But I appreciate the extra ponies and this is what I paid for; while fuel efficiency has improved.
I went from 100% stock
then stock hardware, stage 2 tune (with emission)
then upgraded turbo, rawtek downpipe & DPF, stage 3
Oh I realize that.... but once my dieselgate warranty expires, I plan on deleting DPF\DEF\EGR and opening up the exhaust for reliability purposes and to lower EGTs.... I'm expecting some FE gains as well and it would simply be extra incentive\motivation to know that there's a potential 10-15% FE gain to be had.There is no way the cost of the extra hardware + tune is offset by extra fuel efficiency.
All true. Makes me giggle when people delete and then get mad when their diesel with it's emissions removed stinks.2 drawback of the mods:
- Smell. It is quite strong, even outside. This can be annoying if you have an interior parking.
- With the EGR delete, the engine takes longer to warmup. Thankfully I have the pre fix TCM flash, I hated to see the transmission shift so high on light throttle.
Both manufacturers only produce pipes for different engine codes, they don't both make pipes that will fit every year Touareg. It's one or the otherI agree and I don't regret. This is just so you know what you will get into.
The downpipe & DPF changes the voice as well, not noticeable under steady speed but definitely appreciable under acceleration.
There are 2 kits for the downpipe & DPF, Buzzken & Rawtek both made in Canada. Rawtek is more expensive, but better stainless quality and 3in (VS 2.5in). I got my kit at blackfriday and had quite a good deal (40% ish discount). the tune was 15% off in that same period as well.
Anyone that has ever worked with custom charge pipes or exhaust can easily come up with a solution.Both manufacturers only produce pipes for different engine codes, they don't both make pipes that will fit every year Touareg. It's one or the other
