Hi Everyone,

Five days ago I tuned my A3 Tdi with a Malone Stage 2. From the first moment of pressing the the accelerator, the power is noticeable and comes on quick. Shift points happen with speed and preciseness. I know its been said before, but the car feels totally different. I just want to add to the positive reviews of the Malone Tune if anyone is on the fence. I 100% recommend it. I don't redline at every stop sign or red light. I am a spirited driver and use the power when needed.

Now for Trentec Automotive, located in Newark DE. Trent's garage is very professional and stocked with everything you would need to do any type of work.
Trent himself is a wealth of information, strives on customer service and most importantly he's HONEST. Throughout the whole process Trent showed me each step and explained what was going on. He knows TDI's!!!!

Any South Jersey, Delaware, Philly, Maryland tdi'ers need work, I would recommend Trent without a doubt. Any questions about the tune feel free to post. http://trentecauto.com

Thanks - Jash

Hi Matatk, I paid $1050. $500 for the DSG tune and $550 for the Stage 2.

Hi PeteZ06, Trust me i've been thinking about it a lot. I think NJ tests diesel emission. I have to get inspected in January so i will find out.
How do you like the skid plate?

Old post, I know, but does anyone know if Trentec is still around? Their website won't load and I can't find them on FB.

Thanks,
