I honestly wouldn't mind maestro. But so far I'm iffy on it. But whe using the ECM we have there's nothing lol. I could go with a stand alone which (right now seems better lol)

I've lurked this forum for awhile now cause I have a 07 Cobalt and want to start modding it.. When I saw a fellow dubber I had to make an account so I can finally start posting on here.. I've owned a vw for quite some time now and big in the scene.. I just have to ask, was any research done when you bought this car? And why did you want vw's ugliest color

To each there own color wise. (I actually like the color) a lot has to do with never seeing it anywhere. I've owned two dubs. WEll wife has lol, But I told her to pick a car she wanted and this was it. I purchased it with The broken timing chain and built it. The tuning has been pondered on because I will be doing it. But I won't till the beginning of next year.

The me7 is a capable ECM, but there's plans for the car. Wife loves my cars, which 90% of them I've owned we're boosted. So of course she's gonna be going boost. And I don't want anything to hold me back when doing so. I know I can use our ECM which is most likely the route I'll be going

Probably get funny looks from any reputable tuning company when they hear that

Tuning wise I'm fine. I'm not gonna be tuning right now (beginning of year I will be when we have all the rest of the parts we need) mainly the turbo. We are undecided because we are unsure the power she wants. I can tune basically anything it's all the same... I've worked with a few guys around me with the vdubs tuning and so forth.
If you've never messed with tuning a VW before I wouldn't do it, totally different beast. Why don't you stick to a simple flash? You aren't going to get any power out of the thing anyways. Especially with the compression with no boost? Probably get funny looks from any reputable tuning company when they hear that

Why would I change the ECM? Have you worked with ECM mapping before 10*10 /10*15/10*20/15*15/20*20/ so on so forth cell basis and etc? The stock ECM is fine but from the systems I've used I've been able to do more with stand alones. I haven't chosen a path yet, I've been looking for some months, just still looking what's best.

I've read on the maestro for a few weeks and it may be the way I go. I'm just saying with the stand alone I can go based of less sensors, get more room and cleaner.

Donald, did you read the first post? The cars rods are cryo treated . I'm not wanting godly power ... And I don't just tune with hpt. I have tuned with others. I'm not just someone who puddles and paddles. I actually have done this for some times
