Tune on a stock V worth it? I only have the muffler delete and want to know if a tune is worth it or not, and what does someone like wait4me charge for a pretty basic tune? what can i expect out of it I already have the skip shift eliminator but performance wise what will i get?

yea we have a corsa catback and just a tune picked up 18ft lbs off the line and the gas mileage is great!
stock i believe it dynod 324 hp and 325 ft lbs i cant remember exact numbers but after tune it was peak 333hp and 333 ft lbs but that 18 ft lbs off the line was a noticeable difference! good luck these are all sae corrected a smoothing set to 3.

you can either do an exchange, buy a whole new pcm and keep yours as extra or you can send yours in and wait for it to come back.
simply sending it to him and waiting for it is 75 plus shipping.
if you do the exchange, you basically buy a tuned pcm for your car, then he will credit the money back to you so it will be 75 bucks and no down time. i think buying the tuned pcm is around 130....
if you want some info, you should email his wife. she gets email replies done faster.

IMO you're not getting much more if anything out of a dyno with minimal mods like intalke and exhaust. When you start added cams, s/c, and heavy mods a dyno tune is a must. For what you're gonna get out of a lightly modded V W4M's experience and tune are fine. And like I said for $160 you get to keep your stock pcm, and there's no down time.
